Hello Tracey *!!*

Thank you for taking the time to test this bug.

I'm not sure what to do from here on.

Here's recap of some facts that may or may not be relevant*:*

  * I am currently running MX 23 (Xfce) as my main OS.  However,
    depending on which computer I am able to access, I also operate in
    Windows and Mac OS's (I keep all of my data on an external HD,
    formatted to XFAT, which is compatible with all three platforms).
  * I have used KMyMoney in Windows and Linux in the past; "Ctrl+Insert"
    has always been the default command for making a new entry to a ledger.
  * In version  5.1.3 "Ctrl+Insert" has also been assigned as an
    alternate command for "Copy".  This is where the conflict arises.
  * I can delete this alternate "Copy" command for a session, but once I
    close and re-open KMyMoney, the original settings are reset.  I have
    created a "New Theme", but when I re-open the program, the default
    settings are returned once again.  I can open the dialogue to assign
    the "New Theme" but that is inconvenient (and as noted above, is
    only valid for the current session).
  * The above is true in the Windows version as well.  It is irrelevant
    in Mac as that OS doesn't have an "Insert" key.
  * It seems to me that the "problem" is the alternate command for
    "Copy".  As "Alt+C" is a universal command, I do not see the value
    in creating an additional keyboard shortcut for this function,
    especially one that conflicts with a command that is a longstanding
    convention for his program.  In addition, it would seem that there
    is a bug in the "Configure Keyboard Shortcuts" menu . . . while one
    can generate a new default command for a given function, one is not
    able to permanently edit or delete the alternate command for the
    "Copy" function.

Do you have any suggestions as to how I may be able to resolve this 
issue in a more satisfactory way.


Cheers,

Terry
