How do I remap CTRL-Q and CTRL-W to custom actions in TexMaker?

  • 772

I am using TexMaker and I want to map CTRL-Q to "Comment" and CTRL-W to "Uncomment". I do not want to disable CTRL-Q, but to change its default behavior.

In TexMaker, I get the following error on console:

QAction::eventFilter: Ambiguous shortcut overload: Ctrl+Q
QAction::eventFilter: Ambiguous shortcut overload: Ctrl+W

  1. If you do stty -a, you'll see that ^Q is assigned to "Start" (undoes ^S "Stop"), and ^W is "werase" (word erase).

    You can use the stty command (see man stty) to unset these, or set them to different values. Once you've done that, TexMaker should stop complaining.
