Find + Replace Shortcut Not Working

Post by sarcanon »

Hello.
In the Find/Replace dialog of the Oxygen XML Editor, the shortcut for the Replace/Find button (Alt-R) has no effect. When depressing the Alt key, the 'R' in the label for the button does becomes underlined: Replace/Find.
Other shortcuts (e.g., Alt-F for Find) do work as expected.
Thank you.
Environment: XML Editor 27.0, build 2024121306 on Windows 11

Hello,

Thank you for the feedback.
We've tested this with both Windows 10 and Windows 11, but cannot reproduce the issue.
Did you maybe assign a different action for the shortcut Alt+R ?
I know it may sound ridiculous, but please double check in menu > Options > Menu Shortcut Keys. Search for "Alt+R" in the shortcuts filter.

Regards,
Adrian

Many thanks for your reply.
I did as you suggest. There is one for Alt-Shift-R, but no conflicting assignment of the Alt-R shortcut.
Thank you.

Hi,

Do you use a keyboard layout that uses AltGr for the right-side Alt key (combines with a letter for special glyphs)?
Make sure you're using the simple Alt key (usually left side).
AltGr can send a different code in some combinations and that may not register as the mnemonic for the R key (Replace action).

Adrian

Hello.
Thanks for your reply.
I definitely use the left-hand Alt key on a US English keyboard, not the right.
The only non-standard feature in my Windows Settings dialog (Settings -> Time & Language -> Language & region) is that I have one additional language pack installed (Greek) in addition to my default (English (United States)).
I also have two additional third party keyboard layouts installed to facilitate certain Greek features. I believe one of those relies on the AltGr key for some of its key combinations to proecue special Greek characters.
But, as I said, I am attempting to trigger the Find/Replace button in the Oxygen XML dialog using the left Alt key only, not the right.
