[digikam] [Bug 346877] New: Cannot assign arrow keys as hotkey

[Ruman Gerst]

            Bug ID: 346877
           Summary: Cannot assign arrow keys as hotkey
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.9.0
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

In old Digikam versions I was able to set "Arrow left" and "Arrow right" as
hotkeys for "Next Image" and "Previous Image".
After an update some time ago Digikam only says that this key is ambiguous if I
press "Arrow right" and also I should solve the problems using the hotkey
configuration dialog.

But "Arrow right" is not in the configuration dialog (seems to be hardcoded?)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure "Arrow right" as main or alternative hotkey for "Next picture"
2. Go to "Preview Image" mode
3. Press "Arrow right" 2x


Actual Results:  
A dialog appears saying that this hotkey is ambiguous

Expected Results:  
Should switch to the next image

The dialog should provide more information about the conflict. Users should not
have to search the conflict - the program already knows them!

It's probably in conflict with another keyboard shortcuts from KDE desktop.

Don't forget that keyboard shortcut config dialog is provided by KDE. We use it
as well. All keyboard shortcuts are checked to see if conflicts are discovered.

A keyboard shortcut can be global (ex. Amarok), not especialy active when an
application is started.

Ruman,

Did you check your global shortcuts settings, especially to see if another
application have already assigned a shortcuts to arrow keys ?

Aha! I found the solution:

"Arrow left" and "Arrow right" are already usable as "Next image" and "Previous
image" without adding a shortcut. It seems that this particular function got
broken somehow and I tried to "reassign" it again, which seems not possible,
because the application should already behave like that.

I don't know if it's hardcoded somewhere or it's intended that you can go
through pictures using arrow keys even without configuring it (And why it
suddenly disappeared)

Works for me for now ...
