Bug ID: 514675
Summary: alternate bindings for Forward and Back not respected
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version First 25.08.1
Reported In:
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In the keyboard shortcuts, Forward and Back (actions which are typically sent
from the mouse's navigation buttons) cannot be set when recording a key/combo.
This may be because pressing those extra mouse buttons is not detected as a
click. Additionally, if the XML in ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/kate/kateui.rc is
edited to move those shortcuts to a different action, the keyboard shortcuts
settings page *does* show that the keys are bound to those other actions
instead, but this has no effect: the *behavior* of the forward and back buttons
is always "> Next Tab" and "< Previous Tab" respectively.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. menu Settings > Configure Keyboard Shortcuts...
2. open the keybind for Go To Next Location and click on the button in Custom
to set it
3. note that the forward and back buttons on the mouse don't register to be
bound
4. Open the kateui.rc file and insert the following elements into
<gui><ActionProperties>:
<Action name="view_next_tab" shortcut="Ctrl+PgDown"/>
<Action name="switch_to_tab_1" shortcut="Alt+1; Forward"/>
5. restart kate
OBSERVED RESULT
the "forward" button has the default behavior action of "view next tab"
EXPECTED RESULT
with multiple tabs open, the "forward" button on the mouse should only jump to
the first tab instead of cycling through tabs
