Shortcut Alt+D not working in 0.92.1

Postby theozh » Thu Apr 27, 2017 9:09 pm

It seems that the shortcut for cloning Alt+D doesn't work in Inkscape 0.92.1 r15371 Win7/64 and Win10
But it does work in IS 0.91 r13725 Win7/64
Is there maybe a config file to check or set these shortcuts?

edit:
well, when I open a new empty file it doesn't work. If I modify an old file it seems to work. Strange!
Are shortcuts Document properties???

edit2:
OK, I think I found it:
1. Draw an object
2. Press Shift+Ctrl+O
3. Select your object
4. Press Alt+D no clone is created!
Seems pretty buggish to me... Can others reproduce this?

Works as it should here... 0.92.1 r15371 Win8/64.
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

I find that Alt D does not work with Object Properties dialog open.

Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, Inkscape 0.92.1, 64-bit, exe installer

Seems buggish to me too. I found this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1671947

Thanks @brynn for checking. Yes, that seems to be the same thing.
Actually, it's not working with IS 0.91 r13725...
If the Object dialog or the PNG export dialog (maybe others) are open Alt+D does not work.
OK, let's subscribe to the bug report and hope that it will be fixed soon.

I had my dialog floating, which seems to behave differently... When docked, the panel interferes.
Have a nice day.

If you find details which seem important, that aren't in the bug reports, it would be helpful if you could add them in a new Comment.

I am using a Mac Majove OS and the Alt+D worked one time now when I try to use it I get the dropper tool how can I get it to work normal again? I have the newest version for the X11 and I did the suggested solution using the terminal but it says the key code when I copy it in command not found.

Try the beta version for 1.0: https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.0/?latest=1 - there won't be any Mac updates for the 0.92.x series.

If you're already using that, please open a bug report at https://inkscape.org/report .
