Pro 6.3.2 shortcut conflict

Beta
#1

I’ve noticed a strange shortcut conflict when working with parameters, though it applies to all code editing dialogue boxes.

When editing the parameter json, I will often press option + d to switch to the Dev Tools options, and I’ve now realised that also deletes the following word in the code editor.

I am working in a chromium browser on a mac.

In all other code editors or text areas on other sites, pressing option + d just gives me the ∂ symbol.

I would have assumed that the shortcuts within Pro could / should override any browser or external shortcuts. Is this a bug or is the only workaround to change the key-binding to open the dev tools options?

First we’re talking about the CS Dev tools right? I think for the Code Editor, Option+D (Shift+D on Microsoft / Linux) in Sublime keymaps mode does exactly what you described. Which is probably why you don’t experience it elsewhere. I believe there is a 4th option for KeyMaps I can give you for code editor keymaps that hopefully are less intrusive. I will check in on this branch later.

Certain editors like the rich text do actively ignore keybindings. In general the key bindings should overwrite, which is why I try to use “Ctrl+Alt”. It would be nice to have this as a preference.

Ah I see! Yes I use Sublime elsewhere so would have switched the key map to that.

I’ll replace my Opt + d shortcut for now until trying the 4th KeyMap option.

Thanks!
