Reviving the still-relevant part of #785, closed 2026-09-10 purely to
clear a review backlog, not on merit. Investigated fresh against
current master -- one of the original PR's three targets turned out
to already be fixed independently: element_nomenclature_view's SQL
predicate for exclude_from_bom already does
"COALESCE(LOWER(TRIM(ei.exclude_from_bom)), '') NOT IN ('true', '1',
'yes', 'on')" (projectDataBase::createElementNomenclatureView()).
auto_num_locked and potential_isolating had no equivalent: five call
sites across terminal.cpp, terminalnumberingdialog.cpp and
elementinfowidget.cpp compared the raw stored string against the
literal "true" with QString::operator==, silently treating "True",
"TRUE", a trailing space, or any value written by something other
than this app's own checkbox as off -- with no error and no visible
difference from the checkbox being genuinely unticked.
Added QET::infoFlagIsTrue(), matching the same accepted spellings
("true"/"1"/"yes"/"on", case-insensitive, trimmed) the SQL predicate
already uses, and switched all five call sites to it.
Verified the exact comparison logic in isolation, outside any QET
build: 15 cases including "True", "TRUE", padded whitespace, "1",
"yes", "on", and their false counterparts -- all correctly
discriminated. Qt 6.10.2, ctest 13/13.

Reviving the still-relevant third of #682 (closed 2026-09-18 purely to
clear a review backlog, not on merit). Investigated fresh against
current master rather than merged wholesale -- two of the original
PR's three findings turned out to already be resolved independently:
- Element::valideXml() and Terminal::valideXml() already reject a
non-finite x/y (qIsFinite checks, with comments citing this exact
class of bug) -- added by someone else since #682 was written.
Verified live: a project with x="nan" on an element loads and
exports cleanly on current master, 3.1s, no hang.
- The illegal-XML-control-byte segfault in QDomDocument::setContent()
does not reproduce either. Tested both bytes from the original
report (0x00, 0x0E) against a real Qt6 build: both are now refused
cleanly (XmlParsingFailed, exit 0), no crash. Qt6's QDom parses
differently to the Qt5 one #682 was written and tested against.
What's still genuinely open: QET::attributeIsAReal() itself --
QString::toDouble()'s output parameter reports success for "nan"/
"inf"/"-inf", and this shared helper (26+ call sites across the
codebase, per #682's own count) had no finiteness check independent of
element.cpp/terminal.cpp's own since-added ones. Confirmed several
call sites are not behind either of those two gates -- notably
elementpicturefactory.cpp's line/rect/ellipse/circle/arc parsing for a
symbol's own drawing (a corrupted .elmt, not just a corrupted project
file), which was and remains reachable through this helper alone.
Qt 6.10.2, ctest 13/13.

Qt's QColorDialog loads custom colors from QSettings on startup but
never writes them back, so user-defined colors in the color picker
are lost when the application exits.
Save and load the 16 custom color slots explicitly via QSettings
in QETApp's constructor (after initStyle) and destructor (before
other settings are flushed). This covers every QColorDialog usage
in the application transparently.
Also fixes a QColorDialog memory leak in DiagramView.
Another exception: one non-converted code path in projectprintwindow.cpp to be followed-up.
One issue found in the Qt6 code path of diagramview.cpp which has been fixed.
QET::splitWithSpaces() split on QRegularExpression("[^\\]?(?:\\\\)* ").
That is not a valid pattern: "[^\\]" opens a character class whose "\\]" is
an escaped bracket, so the class is never closed. QRegularExpression
reported isValid() == false, QString::split() warned "invalid
QRegularExpression object", and the function returned an EMPTY list for
every input.
It is the receiving half of the SingleApplication handshake: a secondary
instance sends "launched-with-args: " + joinWithSpaces(args) (main.cpp) and
the running instance parses it in QETApp::receiveMessage() before calling
openFiles(). With the split always empty, the running instance received no
arguments at all -- so opening a project while QET was already running
silently did nothing.
The bug is reported against filenames containing spaces, which is how it
was noticed, but it is not limited to them: plain names failed identically.
A corrected regex is not available. The separator is a space preceded by an
even-length run of backslashes, and PCRE2 has no variable-length lookbehind,
so the run cannot be expressed in a lookbehind and anything that matches it
by consumption eats the character before the space -- which is what the
"[^\\]?" was for. Scanning the string explicitly is correct and easier to
read.
tests/qttest/tst_qetstrings.cpp asserts the round trip
splitWithSpaces(joinWithSpaces(x)) == x over plain names, embedded spaces,
embedded backslashes, a trailing backslash and a mixture, plus the specific
regression that a plain argument list does not come back empty.
Verified the test fails without the fix: 9 of 11 cases fail on the old
implementation and all 11 pass with it. Full suite 5/5, Qt 5.15.18.

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).

(thanks elevatormind!)
- use "Liberation Sans" as default-font
- adjust License-Tab in About-Form
- Bugfix: When selecting a font, the current
font is highlighted in dialog
- adjust some whitespace and English comments
