Menu Shortcuts

[cpohle]

Hi,

is there a way to configure KeePassX in a way that it uses the usual Command-C, Command-V etc menu shortcuts instead of just the letters (C, V)?

I'm using KeePassX 0.4.3. In the 0.4.0 beta 1, shortcuts worked as expected.

Best regards,

Carsten

and a "select all"/Cmd+A would be good too.

Strange - on my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, shortcuts work as expected. On another iMac running the same SL, KeePassX shows the bug described above (ignoring CMD-something key combinations).

Are you running KeePassX from the Download page or my KeePassX with Auto-Type?

I'm running the "official" download.

I'm running the "official" download.

My mod at the above link adds Auto-Type which significantly enhances the usability of KeePassX on OS X. Additionally it incorporates a newer version of Qt, the cross-platform framework on which KeePassX is built. It is Qt that handles things like the Cmd shortcuts so this may fix your problem. FInally, the sources for my mod have been adopted into the official svn repository but simply have not been built and released officially. The above link is to a build I created from the official svn.

If you want to download the svn sources and build it yourself, you can. But it is not easy as you also have to build the static libraries for Qt as well.

I've just downloaded your build, but still the same issue

That is pretty odd. One other thing you might try is to delete the preferences and start clean. Quit KeePassX. Delete ~/.keepass/config.ini. Restart KeePassX. You may have to use Open Database since it is the prefs that remembers where your current db is.

The only other thing I can think of is whether you have anything else installed that could cause this like some keyboard related program. If so, try disabling that to see if that is the cause.

I've just followed this advice - no effect. CMD-combinations are still not working.

There is no such application I'm aware of. Pretty strange.
