Force hotkey assignment for keys already in use.
-
It's highly frustrating when I want to tweak the application to my habits, but it actively refusing to cooperate.
-
@anrdaemon The latest snapshots do at least tell you what the shortcut is already used for. Isn't that better than overriding it?
Specs: AMD A10-6800K, 8 Gb on Win 10 64-bit • Snapshot 1.15.1094.3 (64-bit)

I know it tells me that it is in use. It doesn't tell me where it is used, nor does it help me reassign the used keys.
Took me over two minutes to find the "View page source" hotkey for example. And F3 key assignment before that. -
@anrdaemon said in Force hotkey assignment for keys already in use.:
It doesn't tell me where it is used,
It does now. See the above screen shot. To find the F3 key assignment just type F3 in the Search field.
An option to overwrite existing shortcuts would be OK, but overwriting is potentially confusing for some users.
-
Just turning the "This hotkey is used…" message into a link that force-reassign the key would be enough.

Going off of Pesala's example screenshot and anrdaemon's suggestion to make it a link, I think it would work great to change the wording to:
Click here to remove shortcut CTRL+N from the "New Window" command and assign it here instead.
Or you could make it two lines:
Shortcut CTRL+N is already assigned to the "New Window" command.
Click here to remove it from "New Window" and assign it here instead. -
I would greatly appreciate, if all "click here" wordings would be removed from the interface once and for all.
