[Kmymoney-devel] Fwd: [Kmymoney2-user] Same key for different actions in different views possible?

[Jack]

I see one other possible issue here.  If "enter" is not defined (by the  
user) for any action, then I agree it should  work as Alvaro describes,  
which is to activate the default action in the current situation.   
However, once the user maps a key to a specific action, what happens  
when that key is hit in a situation where that action is not  
applicable?  I assume it should be ignored - but I haven't explicitly  
tested.
