#1265 Left and right arrow keys not working

[Anonymous]

In the TexStudio window the left and right arrow keys are not active.
In preferences --> keyboard shortcuts, the up/and down aroow keys can be defined as suchand work properly. When attempting to the the same for left/right (single character) the normal preset value is not accepted ("shortcut invalid"), only "none" or pointless combinations like Alt-8 etc. which actually work.
This applies to all possible left/right shortcuts (well, I tested 3 ...)

Using openSuse 13.2 and KDE.Locale = DE, UTF-8.

First noted after installing a new system from scratch from the openSuse Repo 13.2. (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/13.2/standard/x86_64/texstudio-2.8.0-2.1.4.x86_64.rpm).

The problem persited after compiling and installing 2.9.0.from source. This is not a keyboard issue as the keys operate in all other software.

you can try to type in "links" & "rechts" for the cursor-movement.
Apart from that I'd advise to delete ~/.config/texstudio.ini

Assuming this is the same problem as [bugs:#1278].

Please try with a new version from here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/texstudio/files/texstudio/TeXstudio%202.9.2/

Note: You may have to delete all lines with "Editor%20Key%20Mapping%20New" from your texstudio.ini.

I have just encountered basically the same problem with TeXstudio 2.9.2 under Manjaro Linux (x64). (The interface language is set to Hungarian, spell check to en_GB.) The only difference is that the up and down arrow keys did not work either. (They would scroll the window instead.)

It appeared right after inserting a bib key in "\citeyear{}" with the help of autocomplete and hitting enter to remove the placeholder,

Deleting the "Editor%20Key%20Mapping%20New" lines in texstudio.ini solved the issue though.

please update to txs 2.9.4
