Added an obituary to a person’s record. I then wanted to copy a fact for pasting for further research. Highlighted desired text, then Ctrl-C to copy to the OS clipboard. The selected text was made a subscript.
Could not copy the text from the note to paste here.
filed 0013002: Note Editor’s standard “copy” keybinding (Ctrl-c) changed to perform a subscript text styling
Also reported in Pull Request note in #1266 Note editor enhancements
Confirmed on Windoze. The Ctrl-C keybinding in 5.2 Notes has been co-opted as a “subscript” hotkey.
They have been available in Gtk TextView and Entry widgets since Gtk 3.22.
That doesn’t clarify things.
I looked in the GitHub code README.md and it shows the GTK minimum being updated from 3.12 to 3.25 on 1 Jul 2023.
But my Gramps 5.1.6 (released 2 days earlier on 29 Jun) has the emojis.
With what version of Gramps did the installers start including 3.22 or newer?
Just went through a lot of searching to determine which GTK version was on a computer. The About box doesn’t list GTK version. All the CLI recommended commands were not found (gtk3-demo - -version ; pkg-config - -modversion gtk±3.0 ; apt-cache policy libgtk2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 ; dpkg -l libgtk2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 )
Finally found the version using Prerequisites Checker.
I see no need for a keybinding for a styling used as infrequently as ‘subscript’
Could you tell us when the keybindings are defined for the Note Editor? starts at lines 625-639 in gramps/gui/widgets/styledtexteditor.py
It would be nice to know what other features have bindings. And know where we can comment them out.
| feature | Ctrl | |
|---|---|---|
| Italic | i | |
| bold | b | |
| =underline= | u | |
| s | ||
| superscript | p | |
| subscript | r | |
| ↺ undo | z | |
| ↻ redo | shift+z |
(Given my druthers, I would have eliminated or changed the subversion of the OS clipboard’s Ctrl-c keybinding by the Gramps clipboard ages ago. Ctrl-c for OS clipboard to move data between application is SO ingrained that the remapping bites me EVERY SINGLE session using Gramps.)
@emyoulation If you really want to kill off the view c (which is, due to its priority, the one which gets called when you are trying to copy some text from a gramplet to the system clipboard), you can comment out gramps/gui/views/pageview.py
self.uistate.window.connect("key-press-event", self.key_press_handler)
on or about line 132.
The actual c detection is in gramps/gui/views/navigationview.py in the def key_press_handler on or about 478. You might want to bind it to another key, or add an alt, shift etc.
One 
emoji is not enough for this answer!
You have now addressed 2 of my all-time greatest constant aggravations with Gramps. (The cleanup of custom types was a biggie too!) I hadn’t used Gramps before you took-over the AIO installer build. But a clean install was a make-or-break decision point for my initial eval of the software.
So thanks for all of these again.
