Accelerator clashes about qdirstat HOT 6 CLOSED

In the YaST UI engine, I wrote a keyboard shortcut conflict resolver many (20+?) years ago. Qt never got around to do anything like this; they just move the keyboard focus between several widgets with the same shortcut, which makes the shortcuts pretty pointless.

Sigh.

"Clean Up" / context menu -> "Open File manager" is already &G now, but that's read from the cleanup config file which has priority. You probably have a config file from before that change. Check ~/.config/QDirStat/QDirStat-cleanup.conf. If you delete that file, the defaults will be regenerated.

The caveats are the same here, of course: There are only 26 to choose from (A..Z), and not all of them occur in the widgets' labels, so in real life it's fewer than that. Any of them that are accessible all over the program make the problem a lot worse. Not all conflicts can be resolved, automatically or manually.

My configuration shows the hotkey as ctrl-G, but the accelerator still F (Open &File manager). Wonder how that happened?

Is the hotkey configurable in the config dialog, or only by hand in the conf file? I see ctrl-G in the menus but nowhere in the config dialog.

The Ctrl+G etc. hotkeys for cleanups are configurable only manually in the config file, the other one (the menu shortcut) is part of the cleanup name that you see in the cleanup config dialog.

Notice that all changes to cleanups become visible only when removing the cleanup config file ~/.config/QDirStat/QDirStat-cleanup.conf.

To keep any custom cleanups, copy that file, strip it down to only the custom ones, and change their sections to a larger number, e.g. [Cleanup_90], [Cleanup_91] etc., then remove QDirStat-cleanup.conf, start and exit QDirStat, and afterwards append the file with the custom cleanups to QDirStat-cleanup.conf. The next QDirStat start will fix the numbers of the added custom cleanups.
