Title: Shift+Return (insert new line) shortcut not working
Post by: Alpha on February 19, 2017, 07:02:00 am

For my self compiled C::B (r11008), using Ubuntu 16.10, the Shift-Return keyboard shortcut (defined under Edit->Special commands->Other) is not triggering.  Tried builds with wx3.0.2 and wx3.1.0.  Placing a breakpoint shows that the function works if I manually click the menu, but is not hit if I use the keyboard.

Any thoughts on how to resolve this?  Anyone else experiencing this?

The shortcut does work in Ubuntu's package manager installed C::B (16.01), although this is not a solution for me since C::B has major issues on my machine when built against wx30.

Do you have the keybinder enabled?

I do not.  I shall test building it later and report back if that changes anything.

The keybinder is broken for wx3.0 builds on linux, so I doubt it will improve the situation.
For some reason the acceleration handling with wx3.0 is pretty broken.
For example ctrl-tab switches the focus to the manager pane when the focus is in the editor and then starts to switches tabs.

Well, not certain why it works, but adding the keybinder plugin (no configuration, just enabling it) made this shortcut work again on my machine.
