Description

--edit-- accidentally used MarkDown control characters in normal text, making message indecipherable

Describe the bug Making shortcuts using ctrl + keypad/numpad numbers does not work

To Reproduce Assign any action to ctrl + keypad number in settings and attempt to perform that action. The action will work with normal top row numbers (even if set with numpad/keypad number)

Expected behavior The shortcut work should work with the keypad/numpad numbers (personally I don't mind if it is distinguishable between the top row numbers or not)

Version, OS and Environment

Details from instructions comment below

CopyQ Clipboard Manager 11.0.0
Qt: 5.15.15
KNotifications: 5.116.0
Compiler: GCC
Arch: x86_64-little_endian-lp64
OS: Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)

OS is MX 25 (not Debian 13 as per above, but a fork of it) DE is XFCE Installation is from apt

Additional context Was playing with screenkey at the same time when I noticed ctrl + keypad number is different from ctrl + number. Even though I set actions with ctrl + keypad number, they don't work with keypad numbers but the normal top row numbers. Apologies if this has been reported already, but I found nothing searching for the terms keypad or numpad.

Thanks in advance

Research direction
Investigate how keyboard shortcuts are registered and processed in CopyQ, focusing on the distinction between numpad and regular digit keys. The issue likely lies in the key event handling code, possibly missing or incorrect handling of Qt::KeypadModifier. Check the shortcut manager (e.g., src/keyboard.cpp or similar) to see how shortcuts are parsed and matched.
