New ContributorOnce again about CTRL+L
Hello.
Consider this message as mere feedback. I moved from Quartus 20.1 to 25.1 and discovered that now what Ctrl+L does depends on the focus: it deletes a line if in the text editor and starts the compilation in other cases. That's quite inconvenient, if you ask me. And there was already a thread dedicated to this peculiarity.
From my standpoint, the keyboard shortcut must do one and only one thing. :-) Maybe developers will take that into account for that in the future.
Also, if there is a possibility to fine-tune shortcuts — point me in that direction. I failed to find that.

I had reflected the problem to internal engineering team and will be fixed in future version. Currently please stay with the workaround that close all the file/text editor before press CTRL+L to run compilation.

KennyT_alteraSince the above works, you have further question?

I test on v25.1 without any problem. Could you try re-open project and try again?

Hi,
I can confirm the observed behaviour. Since Quartus 21.1 Std (don't have 20.1 installed presently), CTRL+L is deleting the current line if editor is open and has the focus. I don't have any editor customizations applied.

Sorry for confusion. If for Pro, there's no issue.
Do you mean Standard Edition? If Standard, I'm seeing the problem. I'll reflect this problem to internal engineering team.

Yes, CTRL+L has no effect in Quartus Pro text editor, only in Quartus Std/lite.
Apparently few people are using CTRL+L shortcut, so the bug survived five major Quartus releases.
The superfluous keyboard shortcut is neither listed in Quartus help nor text editor edit menu.- ShengN_altera
Understood that. I'll reflect this problem to internal engineering team.
ElShangOk, thank you all!
