I defined a global shortcut without a modifier key, e.g. “m”, to do something (switch sidebar tab). However, when the cursor is in any text input, the shortcut fires but is not passed on to the input, i.e. I cannot type words containing “m”. I don’t mind the shortcut firing from the editor, but I would like the keypress to propagate or fall through into the input field. It would be even better if the shortcut did not fire and the keypress was swallowed by the input, or if this could be controlled somehow.
I could of course attach the key “ctrl-m” to the shortcut, but that’s unnecessarily clumsy, requiring all kinds of hand acrobatics. Or I could use F1 or some such (my current solution). But my question is not how to make it work as painlessly as possible, but if propagation or precedence of text fields is at all possible.
Have a nice day
