When I have a script open, the Cut, Copy and Paste actions completely break in the Explorer. All of the other Explorer-related shortcuts break, although those options still function if triggered through the context menu. If I switch back to the 3D viewport, all functionality returns.
Worth noting that in particular, Enter to rename (should be F2 but that’s already reported) does continue to function no matter what.
Studio version 0.653.0.6530693
We have this bug filed and know the root cause and how to fix it, we will hopefully have ship that early next quarter (the deadline has passed for our this year for a change like this).
The issue is that script editor hijacks the existing shortcuts in order to make sure that you can do things like press delete to remove text in the script editor. It would then pipe these events to Explorer if it suspected you were over it. We have a system in place for these kinds of contextual actions that we need to get script editor on.
Thanks!
That’s good to know, thanks! Was this issue present on the old Explorer as well and I just never noticed?
No, it’s hardcoded to work for the Qt Explorer. Very funky.
