            Bug ID: 444300
           Summary: Dolphin: Cannot rebind <Backspace>: “The key sequence
                    is ambiguous”
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 21.08.2
          Platform: Debian unstable
                OS: All
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: view-engine: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: dag at gnui.org
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

## Steps to reproduce:

Settings / Configure Keyboard Shortcuts / Up / Alternate / Custom / <Backspace>

| The "Backspace" shortcut is ambiguous with the following shortcut.
| Do you want to assign an empty shortcut to this action?
| Shortcut 'Alt+Left' for action 'Back'

[Yes]

## Expected result:

Backspace triggers Up.

Actual result:

| The key sequence 'Backspace' is ambiguous. Use 'Configure Keyboard Shortcuts'
from the 'Settings' menu to solve the ambiguity. No action will be triggered.

Alas, I see no way to solve the ambiguity here: the Back action is associated
with <Alt-Left> as a shortcut and <Back> as an alternate, no <Backspace> to
remove.

Also, upon running Dolphin, it now says:

| There are two actions (Back, Up) that want to use the same shortcut
(Backspace). This is most probably a bug. Please report it in bugs.kde.org

I agree with it: this is a bug.


P. S. FWIW, I feel strongly, that <Backspace> = Up should be a default,
following the decades old custom, respected by most classic file managers and
already featured in KDE by Krusader.
