Bizarro bugs: Ctrl-Q voor Select All
Na me er maanden aan te ergeren (en helemaal niet te herinneren wat het veroorzaakte) besloot ik om uit te zoeken waarom zowel Ctrl-A en Ctrl-Q gemapt zijn aan Select-All en waarom geen van beide ervoor zorgt dat het programma afgesloten wordt.
Blijkt dat zowel fr en us keymaps hebben het probleem was: BGO #569554. Meest bizarre bug ooit...
En voor wie zich afvraagt hoe ik dit ontdekt heb: Binary Gconf Search. En nee, het was niet fun...

Hi,
Thanks a dozen for this! I was wondering why Synaptic quits on ctrl-a for me. It's pretty annoying not being able to select all packages (The option is not in the menus either). This occurs when Finnish and French keymaps are defined.

Wow, thanks for tracking it down, this has been bugging me for months :)

Your bug got marked as a dup of:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162726
In many ways, that other bug report is funny and sad. It's so typical of gnome development. 90% of it is arguing about which behavior is a better default instead of just giving the user an option.

Thank you. I had the opposite problem: both Ctrl-A and Ctrl-Q map to Quit. And my applications always quit when trying to make a Select-All :)

I never managed to figure out what this was and was to lazy to track it down myself. Thanks for blogging this! I'm now subscribed to the bug and hope some progress will be made. Until then I'll just continue making dvorak my default choice and living with "broken" keyboard shortcuts whenever I (or someone borrowing my computer) need to switch to Swedish (qwerty).

It's not a bug, it's a feature! (and it sucks)
