Review request for Kate and KDE Frameworks.


Bugs: 350025
    https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350025


Repository: ktexteditor


Description
-------

Change default keyboard shortcut for "go to previous editing line" as it is in conflict with default shortcut for "next tab" action. The katepart is likely to be used in an application that has tabs, so having a conflict with one of the default shortcuts for changing tabs is not so good. This turns up in Krusader, bug 350025. Currently Kate uses the wrong default shortcuts for next/prev tab, so currently there is no conflict there. I will also make a review request for Kate to use correct shortcuts and if accepted the same conflict will appear there. 

The choice of using ctrl+E, ctrl+shift+E, was just motivated by "e as in edit" and that it was available in katepart and kate. There is a standard shortcut called "text completion" which has ctrl+E as default. This is not used by katepart and seems unlikely to cause conflict.

Testing
-------

Tested with Kate and Krusader, compiled from master. Only small issue is a new conflict in Krusader (ctrl+shift+E, used for switching to Editor... but then if you are using this katepart you already are in the editor.. so no biggie).


Thanks,

Simon Persson
