Is it possible to resolve the shortcut-key conflict between Snippets and the core, like what’s been done in WordComplete?

[Yutaka Emura]

Are you referring to the Snippets plug-in (global) Properties – Keyboard page, or each snippet item properties shortcut?
The global Properties – Keyboard page should be exactly the same as the Word Complete plug-in Keyboard page.
I am not sure what you mean by “resolve”. It doesn’t resolve, but it just shows a warning when there is a conflict.

Sorry for the delay…

I confused the things in the above post.
I mean “each snippet item properties shortcut”.

Currently, a shortcut key assigned to a core command can be assigned to a snippet item without warning.

And there are other issues. Try these steps:
Assign a shortcut key to a core command.
Assign the same key to 2 (or more) snippet items.
Press the key. It shows the snippet items in a menu.
Press Esc key to cancel the menu.
** Issue 1: There’s a sound.
(There’s no sound if the key is not assigned to a core command.)

Now go on:
Suppose the key mentioned above is Ctrl+;.
Assign Alt+; to another core command (X).
Press Ctrl+; to show the snippet items in a menu.
Press Alt key to cancel the menu.
** Issue 2: The core command (X) is triggered (by Alt+;).

The snippets plug-in item properties should warn you if the keyboard shortcut conflicts with a core command. I am not sure why you didn’t see the warning.

I’ve fixed your second issue.

Um… I can’t recall how I added those shortcuts for the snippet items…
Now I see: It warns only when I changed the shortcut and confirm the dialog.

However, issue 3:
The warning can be bypassed:
Open the Properties of a snippet.
Add a shortcut that conflicts (e.g. Ctrl+N).
Then enable “Use Default Shortcut”.
Confirm and reopen the dialog.
Disable “Use Default Shortcut”.
Confirm the dialog.
** It doesn’t warn.

However again, issue 4:
** Clicking “Edit” button in the dialog always triggers the warning if the shortcut conflicts.
I don’t think it’s necessary.

I’ve fixed these issue and suggestions on 20.8.906.

Is issue 4 (in #27587) an intended design?

[Yutaka Emura]

This issue will be fixed on the next version. Thank you.
