Adds a real base-26 incrementing part type to the autonumbering engine,
alongside the 14 existing NumStrategy leaves. Unlike StringNum (a fixed,
non-incrementing text segment), AlphaNum::next()/previous() carry/borrow
entirely within the part's own value -- the composition loop in
NumerotationContextCommands doesn't need to change, since (unlike #578's
wrap-and-carry) nothing here needs to signal an adjacent part.
- incrementAlpha()/decrementAlpha() implement the spreadsheet-column-name
algorithm: increment carries right-to-left on 'z'/'Z' overflow,
prepending a new leading letter if the whole value overflows (z -> aa,
az -> ba). decrement is the exact inverse, including the symmetric
shrink case (aa -> z) once every position has borrowed. A single letter
already at "a"/"A" has no representable predecessor and is clamped
rather than turned into "z" -- caught via manual testing, since the
initial implementation mutated the string in the borrow loop before
checking whether to clamp, silently discarding the original value.
- Registered in NumerotationContext::validRegExpNum() but deliberately
not in validRegExpNumber(), so addValue() doesn't force alphabetic
values through int conversion.
- New "Cyclique"-adjacent "Alphabétique" entry in numparteditorw's type
dropdown, with its own letters-only QRegularExpressionValidator; the
increase spinbox is disabled since the step is always exactly one
letter, not a configurable amount.
Also wires the new part type through to actual element/conductor labels,
which turned out to be required for the feature to do anything visible
beyond folio numbering (which applies a NumerotationContext's
represented string directly). Element and conductor numbering instead
go through a separate formula-substitution layer
(autonum::sequentialNumbers + %sequ_/%seqt_/%seqh_-style placeholders in
AssignVariables::assignSequence()) that numerotationContextToFormula()
auto-populates. Without a matching placeholder, an "alpha" part would
silently vanish from the generated formula and never reach the label,
even though the underlying counter was advancing correctly:
- sequentialNumbers gained an `alpha` QStringList member (copy ctor,
operator=, operator==, toXml/fromXml, clear()).
- numerotationContextToFormula() emits a new %seqa_N placeholder for
alpha parts, the same way %sequ_N is emitted for unit parts.
- setSequential()/setSequentialToList() populate seqStruct.alpha,
passing the raw string through as-is rather than the .toInt()-based
formatting used for the numeric part types.
- AssignVariables::assignSequence() substitutes %seqa_N from
seqStruct.alpha, mirroring the existing %sequ_N/%seqt_N/%seqh_N
substitutions.
No "alphafolio" variant was added, matching the discussion's scope (only
unit/ten/hundred have folio-anchored variants).
Verified against production code via the numbering config dialog's own
Suivant/Précédent buttons: from "a", 25 clicks reached "z"; one more
produced "aa"; 25 more reached "az"; one more produced "ba" (carry).
Reversed: "ba"->"az"->(25 clicks)->"aa"->"z" (shrink)->(25 clicks)->"a".
One more "previous" at "a" correctly stayed at "a" after the clamp fix.
Also confirmed the Formule field auto-updates to "%seqa_1" the instant
the type is switched to "Alphabétique", confirming the formula-generation
wiring works live in the UI, not just at the engine level.
Adds a configurable wrap-at-N counter type to the autonumbering engine
(NumerotationContext + NumerotationContextCommands), covering PLC/rack-style
addressing conventions like "e0.0...e0.7, e1.0...e1.7" (8 channels per
card) generally, rather than hardcoding octal specifically.
- New "wrap" part type (WrapNum, alongside the existing UnitNum/TenNum/
HundredNum strategies) stores a modulus in addition to the existing
value/increase/initialvalue fields. Its own next()/previous() only wraps
its own value modulo the configured modulus -- carrying into (or
borrowing from) the adjacent part requires visibility across parts,
which only the composition loop has.
- NumerotationContextCommands::next()/previous() gained carry()/borrow()
helpers: when a wrap part's own next() would reach/exceed its modulus
(or go below 0 on previous()), the nearest preceding numeric part is
bumped by exactly one unit, skipping non-numeric parts (e.g. a "."
string separator). Wrap parts chain correctly if adjacent (e.g. seconds
wrapping into minutes wrapping into hours).
- For the leading part of a wrap-and-carry pair to stay fixed except when
carried into (i.e. actually produce "e0.0...e0.7, e1.0..." rather than
advancing on every step under its own strategy), its own increase must
be 0. The increase spinbox's minimum was 1, which made this
configuration impossible through the UI -- lowered to 0 and documented
with a tooltip, since this wasn't obvious from the UI alone.
- NumerotationContext gained a 5th pipe-separated field (modulus) in its
serialized string form, defaulting to 0 (non-wrapping) for every
existing part type; toXml()/fromXml() persist it as a "modulus" XML
attribute the same way "initialvalue" is already persisted for
unitfolio/tenfolio/hundredfolio.
- New "Cyclique (modulo)" entry in the part-type dropdown (numparteditorw),
available for element, conductor, and folio autonumbering alike, since
all three already go through NumerotationContextCommands.
Verified in the running app via the numbering config dialog's own
Suivant/Précédent buttons (which call the production
NumerotationContextCommands::next()/previous() directly): a two-part
context (unit, increase=0 + wrap mod 8) produced exactly
e0.0→...→e0.7→e1.0→...→e1.7 on repeated "next", and the exact reverse
(with correct borrowing) on repeated "previous".
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.

QVariant::canConvert(int) is deprecated in Qt6. Use the non-deprecated
canConvert<T>() template (canConvert<QString>() / canConvert<int>()),
which is available on Qt5 too. Clears the last 2 -Wdeprecated-
declarations warnings.
When using composite text in report elements, the name of the variable
was displayed when inserting the reportElement into the drawing (e.g.
%{function}). This is corrected here.
