Implements the first pillar of #574: a "Shortcuts" preferences page letting
users rebind, search and reset every keyboard shortcut in the app.
What it does
- New ShortcutManager singleton: every one of the ~95 setShortcut()/
setShortcuts() call sites across qet.cpp, qetmainwindow.cpp,
elementspanelwidget.cpp, autonumberingdockwidget.cpp, richtexteditor.cpp,
qetdiagrameditor.cpp, qettemplateeditor.cpp and qetelementeditor.cpp now
calls registerAction(target, id, category, default_sequence) instead,
which applies the user's saved override (or the default) and remembers
the target for later editing.
- New ShortcutsConfigPage, added to the existing "Configurer QElectroTech"
dialog: a filterable table of every registered shortcut, grouped by
category, each with a QKeySequenceEdit and a per-row reset button, plus a
"reset all" button. Bindings are only persisted (via
ShortcutManager::setSequence()) when the dialog is accepted.
- Conflict detection: rows whose currently-edited sequence collides with
another row are highlighted with a tooltip naming the conflicting action.
- Overrides are stored under a "shortcuts/" QSettings group, one key per
id, keyed to match the id (not persisted at all when equal to the
hardcoded default), so a future QET version can safely raise a default
for anyone who never customized it.
Design notes
- Targets are handled generically via QObject rather than QAction, since one
call site (autonumberingdockwidget's "Configurer" button) is a
QPushButton, not a QAction. Both declare an identical "shortcut"
QKeySequence Q_PROPERTY, so registerAction() reads/writes it through the
property system instead of needing a separate code path.
- Several live targets can share one id at once -- QET allows multiple
windows of the same kind (diagram editor, element editor...) open
simultaneously, each constructing its own QAction with the same id.
setSequence() updates every live target for that id in one call, so a
rebind takes effect in all open windows immediately, without restart.
- A shortcut's description is captured from its target's text() the first
time that id is registered, then cached -- so the config page stays
correct even after the owning window is closed. One consequence: a
shortcut belonging to an on-demand window (element editor, title block
editor, rich text editor) only appears in the list once that window has
been opened at least once in the current session, since nothing has
registered its id yet otherwise.
Testing
Full CMake build (qmake CONFIG+=no_kf5, Qt 5.15) compiles clean with zero
errors and zero new warnings. Verified end-to-end in a real running session
(Xvfb + xdotool):
- The Shortcuts page appears in Configure QElectroTech with the right icon,
lists every always-registered shortcut with correct category/action name/
current binding.
- The filter box correctly narrows the list, and correctly returns nothing
for an action whose owning window hasn't been constructed yet this
session (confirming the on-demand-registration behavior above is working
as designed, not silently broken).
- Conflict detection correctly flagged a real pre-existing same-key overlap
between "Supprimer" (delete selection, Del) and "Supprimer ce folio"
(delete diagram from panel, Del) -- both highlighted with explanatory
tooltips.
- Rebound "Manuel en ligne" to Ctrl+Shift+M, clicked OK: persisted under
[shortcuts] in QElectroTech.conf, and the Aide menu's entry showed the new
binding immediately, no restart needed.
- Reopened the dialog: the rebind was still shown. Clicked its per-row
reset button, then OK: the settings key was removed entirely (not stored
as "F1"), correctly falling back to the hardcoded default.
Retrofitting the Tab/Shift+Tab, select-all (#585) and Ctrl+G jump-to-element
(#586) shortcuts through this registry is left for a follow-up once those
PRs land, to avoid re-merging still-open branches into this one.
Developed with assistance from Claude (Anthropic).
Implements the third pillar of #574: a lightweight quick-open popup
for jumping straight to an element on the current diagram, rather
than scrolling/scanning visually.
New JumpToElementDialog (sources/ui/): a small QDialog with a filter
QLineEdit and a live-filtered QListWidget beneath it. Built from
every Element on the diagram, searchable against its label
(elementInformations().value("label")), type name (Element::name()),
and every other element information value, joined into one
lowercased search string per candidate. Up/Down move through the
filtered list, Enter selects the highlighted element on the diagram
(clearing the rest of the selection) and scrolls it into view via
ensureVisible(), Escape cancels without changing the current
selection. All three are handled via an event filter on the line
edit, so the user never has to leave the text field to navigate or
confirm.
Triggered by a new Ctrl+G action in QETDiagramEditor, added next to
the existing Ctrl+F "search and replace" action and to the Edit
menu. Confirmed free: not used anywhere in qetdiagrameditor.cpp or
qetmainwindow.cpp today.
Explicitly not a duplicate of the existing SearchAndReplace module
(also on this menu, via Ctrl+F): that's a bulk property search/replace
tool across whole diagrams; this is a single-item navigational
popup with no editing capability.
Verified end-to-end in a real running session (Xvfb + xdotool)
against a multi-transistor schematic: Ctrl+G opens the popup listing
every element; typing "Q16" live-filters down to the one match;
arrow keys move the highlighted row through the filtered list;
Enter selects the highlighted element (confirmed via the properties
panel showing its label) and closes the popup; Escape closes it
without changing the selection.

PotentialSelectorDialog::chosenProperties() built an OK-only dialog
and discarded exec()'s return value entirely:
dialog.exec();
for (QRadioButton *b : H.keys()) {
if (b->isChecked()) return H.value(b);
}
return ConductorProperties();
Escape and the window close button already trigger QDialog::reject()
on a plain QDialog, but since the result was never checked, dismissing
the dialog without picking anything just silently returned blank
ConductorProperties() -- the same value returned when a real potential
was chosen but happened to produce empty properties. There was no way
to distinguish "the user cancelled" from "the user chose an empty
potential", so the caller always proceeded as if a choice had been
made.
Add a real Cancel button, check dialog.exec() == QDialog::Accepted,
and report cancellation through a new optional `bool *cancelled`
out-parameter. Also pre-select the first entry, closing a related gap
where clicking OK without ever touching a radio button hit the exact
same "silently returns blank properties" failure mode.
Thread the result through ConductorCreator::setUpPropertieToUse()
(now returning bool) so the calling constructor aborts and creates no
conductors at all when the user cancels, instead of proceeding with
blank properties.
The sibling constructor-based PotentialSelectorDialog (used for
conductor/report potential linking, a separate flow) already gates its
side effects behind on_buttonBox_accepted(), so cancelling it was
already safe -- gave it a visible Cancel button too for consistency
while touching this file, no behavior change there.
Verified with real Qt event simulation (QTest::mouseClick/keyClick)
against the exact new dialog-building logic: clicking Cancel and
pressing Escape both correctly report cancellation with empty
properties; clicking OK untouched returns the pre-selected first
entry; selecting the second option then OK returns that selection.

QFont::fromString() of Qt 5.x and Qt <= 6.10 rejects the >= 19 field
descriptions QFont::toString() emits since Qt 6.11, silently leaving a
broken font at every read site. Add QETUtils::fontFromString(): try the
native parser first, and on failure re-compose the legacy 10/11 field
form from the known Qt 6.11 field layout (OpenType weight mapped back
to the legacy scale) so no font information stored in existing files is
lost. Also salvage the 21 field double-serialized descriptions left
behind by some historical builds (a complete legacy description
embedded as the family name of a second one) by taking the embedded
leading description, matching what the lenient parser of Qt 6.11+
resolves them to. All font read sites now go through the helper; on
failure the default font of the caller is left untouched instead of a
cleared family.
Verified end to end on a Qt 5.15 build: a project whose 53 font
attributes were rewritten into the 19 field Qt 6.11 format loads and
autosaves byte-identical to the original legacy file (family, sizes,
bold/italic/underline, style name all preserved), and a mixed file
containing the exact 21 field string from the issue comes back
normalized as "Caladea,9,-1,5,75,1,0,0,0,0,Bold Italic".
See issue #553.
Adds a ProjectUsageTracker (sources/project/) that accumulates how
long a project has been the active tab, using QElapsedTimer so the
value is computed on demand rather than via polling. It's hosted on
ProjectPropertiesHandler per that class's own stated design intent
("all new properties should be managed by this class").
The accumulated time is persisted as a new <usage time_spent="N"
enabled="true|false"/> element, a sibling of <properties> in the
project XML, written/read by new QETProject::writeUsageXml()/
readUsageXml(). It rides along on the existing autosave path for
free, since writeBackup() already serializes the full project via
toXml().
QETDiagramEditor::subWindowActivated() now pauses every open
project's tracker except the one whose tab just became current, so
switching between several open projects keeps each project's tracked
time isolated.
Surfaced in the existing Project Properties "Général" page: a
"Temps passé sur ce projet" display, a "Réinitialiser" button, and
an opt-out checkbox ("uniquement enregistré localement dans ce
fichier" - this is local-only, never transmitted anywhere).
Verified beyond compiling: full CMake build, then an actual runtime
session confirming the saved XML's time_spent value, that closing
and reopening the project round-trips and resumes timing, that the
reset button works, and - the key correctness check - that with two
projects open, the inactive one's time_spent stays frozen while the
active one accumulates real elapsed time, over the same interval.

QFont::toString() is not stable across Qt versions: Qt 6.11 switched to
a 19-field format carrying OpenType weights, which QFont::fromString()
of Qt 5.x and Qt <= 6.10 rejects, leaving a broken font. Projects saved
by a Qt 6.11+ build were therefore unreadable by older builds.
Add QETUtils::fontToString() composing the legacy 10/11-field
description (weight mapped back to the legacy scale with the same
closest-match table Qt uses when parsing) and use it at every site that
stores a font description in a project, element, table config or
settings file. Every Qt version from 5.15 through 6.12-beta parses this
form correctly, so files stay readable by every QET build in
circulation.
See issue #553.
QHash/QMap::keys() allocates a list of every key on each call, then
contains() searches it linearly - an accidental O(n) plus allocation
where a direct O(1) lookup was meant. 35 occurrences across 7 files,
found while profiling project load times (context: #553/#560).
The hot one is ElementPictureFactory::getPictures(), which runs once
per element instance on project load: on the 3399 KiB example project
(191 instances, 129 cache hits) the keys() detour cost 45 ms of the
1.34 s total - measured, not estimated; the fix reproducibly shaves
~35-45 ms off that load. The remaining call sites are UI paths
(search&replace, dynamic text model, undo commands) where the waste
scales with selection/model size.
No behavior change: for QHash/QMap, keys().contains(k) and
contains(k) are equivalent by definition.

qAsConst was deprecated in Qt 6.6; std::as_const (C++17, already the
project standard) is the drop-in replacement. Clears 46 -Wdeprecated-
declarations warnings across 18 files. No behavioural change.
Check the QLockFile in staleFiles() before returning a no-KF5 recovery candidate, matching the KAutoSaveFile contract that actively owned autosave files are not stale.
Extend the no-KF5 Catch test so a child process keeps the autosave lock alive while allStaleFiles() runs, then verify recovery after the child is killed.

Provide a small KAutoSaveFile-compatible implementation for the no-KF5 build path and use it to keep the existing crash-recovery code active when BUILD_WITH_KF5=OFF.
The normal KF5 build still uses the KDE KAutoSaveFile implementation.

The BUILD_WITH_KF5 option was checked with DEFINED, so passing -DBUILD_WITH_KF5=OFF still entered the KF5 setup path.
Skip the KF5 setup when disabled and provide small Qt-only replacements for the KDE color widgets used by .ui files in that build mode.

ProjectPropertiesDialog::exec() was using Qt::WindowModal, which only
blocks the parent ProjectView window. The MDI workspace and its other
subwindows remained interactive, so actions like new_project or
close_project could fire while the dialog's config pages still held raw
QETProject* pointers — leading to a SIGSEGV when Qt's event loop later
dispatched a signal through one of those stale pointers.
Detected by the 8-hour GUI fuzzer: action sequence add_diagram_page →
flood_wires ×18 → new_project while Project Properties was open
produced exit code -11 (SIGSEGV) on the first of 12,717 actions.
Switch to Qt::ApplicationModal so no window can receive input while the
dialog is open. Project Properties is a short-lived dialog; blocking
the whole application for its duration matches user expectation and
removes the lifetime hazard without requiring QPointer surgery across
four config-page classes.

When a title block template uses custom variables (e.g. %{department},
%{owner}), the user previously had to declare each one by hand in the
folio properties 'Custom' tab before a value could be entered. Now the
template's undefined custom variables are added automatically, so the
user only fills in the values.
- listOfVariables() now extracts %{name} placeholders with a regex
(deduplicated) instead of a crude '%' strip that returned '{name}'.
- The folio properties widget merges the template's custom variables into
the Custom tab both on open (setProperties) and when the template is
changed, preserving any values already entered and skipping the
standard fields (title, author, date, ...) which have their own inputs.
Fixes#271 (variable auto-population; the revision-history request in the
thread is a separate feature).
Add a new boolean property 'showTerminalName' (default: true) to
XRefProperties, with full persistence in XML and QSettings.
A new checkbox "Afficher les numéros de bornes dans les Xrefs" is
added to the XRefPropertiesWidget in the main display group (not in
the cross-only group), so it is active in both Cross and Contacts modes.
When unchecked, terminal names are hidden in all three rendering paths:
- drawContact() (Contacts mode: NO/NC/SW symbols)
- fillCrossRef() (Cross mode: NO and NC columns)
- setUpCrossBoundingRect() (Cross mode: bounding rect sizing)
Backward compatible: existing project files without the attribute
default to showTerminalName=true (no visual change).
