These, in turn, may correspond to three different keys, depending on your keyboard.įor example, on a Windows-compatible keyboard: In computing, a delete, a destructive backspace, and a non-destructive backspace are all different functions, which normally correspond to three different key codes.
When you're logged into a UITS shared central system at Indiana University, if pressing your keyboard's Backspace (or delete) key does not perform a destructive backspace (it doesn't delete the character to the left of the cursor while moving the cursor to the left), the SSH client you're using (for example, PuTTY or macOS Terminal) is probably sending the wrong definition of the Backspace (or delete) key to the shared system to which you are connected.

Your Windows keyboard may also have a Delete key, but it doesn't perform the same function as the Mac's delete (or Windows Backspace) key. Sorry to be so long-winded here, but I figure these details may help others, including the developers.This information refers to the key labeled Backspace on Windows-compatible keyboards and delete on Macintosh keyboards. I will continue to test things over the next few days and report back the results. It does seem the Caps Lock is the culprit, or at least a major one. I only played with Inkscape 1.1 about 10 minutes ago before posting this. I shut down Inkscape 1.1 and restarted it, making sure the Caps Lock is not on, and can monkey around Inkscape, so far, with no hiccup. It was only after deleting every object I had previously created while the Caps Lock was engaged, and turning off the Caps Lock, that I can now utilize Inkscape - with the keyboard functions working. Even if I turned off the Caps Lock, it seemed every object was "tainted" and interfered with by having previously enabled the Caps Lock. I could only do these actions (and others) by using other menu options or right clicking on the mouse. I could not use Ctrl and D to duplicate, could not delete using the Delete key, etc. When I did have Caps Locks on, and interacted with objects, the keyboard shortcut functions went quirky.

That was to be my next intended step - removing every Inkscape version and doing a fresh install of 1.1 using the exe package.īefore doing that, I thought I would re-create the preferences.xml once again as I had done weeks ago, and look at the default.xml and inkscape.xml files, and re-try running the current 1.1 version that is in place.Īs mentioned in the bug 5058 details, I noticed something I had never "noticed" before. I have never installed using the msi or the exe installers, as that would mean to remove a few earlier versions I have (0.92.4 and 1.01). I un-installed and re-installed version 1.1 several times in the 7z format. The same erratic keyboard problems existed. I followed the trouble shooting guidance shared by Adam Bellis and Nathan Lee. Aside from the details I shared in the above link, I experienced the same ones mentioned by marciosg4, Lincoln City Gifts, and Pedro Henrique Dereira. It has been reported by others as bug # 5058. When I tried to create a bug report to upload, the program crashed. I reported on this weeks ago, as a topic at
