By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Kris 2012-11-08 11:41:56 CST

When using my keyboard a lot, I tend to hit CTRL+L to jump to the URL bar (this is supported in most browsers). Doing so in Konqueror works fine, however Konqueror will clear whatever is already in the URL bar.

It would be more preferable to highlight whatever is there instead of clearing it because it is often easier to fix a typo instead of having to completely retype the URL, the latter of which makes it easier to make a typo again. In addition, if the text is highlighted, it will be cleared out and replaced anyway if the user starts typing (instead of hitting the arrow keys or clicking).

Confirmed that Ctrl-L clears the contents of the location bar.

Using F6 selects the contents but does not clear.

Both shortcuts are standard defaults and hard-coded into konqueror.

Looking at the code in konq_mainwindow.cc, both shortcuts are functioning as designed. That is, F6 is intended to select the location bar and Ctrl+L is intended to clear the location bar.

With that said, I agree the Ctrl+L behavior is different from other browsers, where Ctrl+L functions the same as F6 in konqueror. Although there is the work-around of using F6, perhaps a check box option in the konqueror configuration would allow users to decide whether Ctrl+L clears and selects or only selects.

Teh behavior is configurable using Configure Shortcuts... in Konqueror.
Default actions:
 - F6: select the location bar
 - Ctrl+L: clear the location bar.

By reassigning the above actions you can easily get the behavior asked in the original report.

I am include to close this bug as the require action is possible. What do you think?

*I am incline to close.....  (sorry for the typo)

Comment 4 Slávek Banko 2021-07-30 02:47:25 CDT

Yes, I also for close this bug - works as it was designed and the user can easily change behavior.

Comment 5 Michele Calgaro 2021-07-30 04:29:31 CDT

Closing and marking as wontfix since required functionality is already possible through customization.
