V5.0.0-rc2 Build Bug

Software

I’ve been out of the loop, know that others will be able to address this much faster than me trying to stumble along trying to figure out if it has already been reported.

In Eeschema, the “?” hot-key toggles the add a buss entry command. It can not be fixed by resetting it.

In PcbNew, the “?” is not set by default to bring up the hot-key menu; it was cntrl+F1 (I think).

I reported it April 9th. It’s Bug #1762162. Apparently it’s a weirdness in the way wxWidgets (a library used for UI independence) works.

The fix for now is that the hotkey to bring up the list of hotkeys has been changed from “?” to CTRL/F1.

Thanks!
I had figured it was unlikely to be unknown. But, it was weird to see “the fix” in only the one application.
