Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue
  • I will be providing steps how to reproduce the bug (in most cases this will also mean uploading a demo budget file)

What happened?

Typing a question mark (?) while an input field —for example, a line item's Payee field, Notes field, Category field, etc.— has focus opens the keyboard shortcuts dialog.

Expected

The app distinguishes between typing the character ? and using it to trigger the keyboard shortcuts dialog: the keyboard shortcuts dialog does not open when an input field has focus.

The web UI uses the expected behavior.

Where are you hosting Actual?
