Android: Some Script Editor shortcuts (e.g. Toggle Comment) do not execute

[moostafa-afk]

Tested versions

This bug is on all versions 4.6 and above

I've tested Godot 4.5, 4.5.1, and 4.5.2 and they don't have this issue. but 4.6, 4.7, and even the 4.8 dev build have this bug.

System information

Godot v4.8.dev1 - Android 16 (SDK 36 build 14587043) - Single-window, 1 monitor - Vulkan (Mobile) - integrated PowerVR D-Series DXT-48-1536 MC1 - Tensor G5 (8 threads) - Android (44100 Hz, Stereo/mono)

Issue description

The main issue is: that some editor shortcuts work perfectly e.g.. :

• Undo
• Redo
• Cut
• Delete Line

While others don't work e.g.. :

• Toggle Comment
• Fold All lines
• Unfold All Lines.

But all actions do work normally; if I go to the script toolbar and select them from there.

Steps to reproduce

Input the key combination for these actions:

Toggle Comment: CTR + K
Fold Line: ALT + F

Even after modifying the shortcuts in editor settings the issue still remains.

The keyboard I'm using is called Unexpected Keyboard, which is available in the Play Store,

it contains keys like : CTR, FN, ALT, which allow me to input keys that I otherwise can't on mobile, I've also tested this with another keyboard called Hacker's Keyboard:

And it has the same issue. Which confirms the problem is with Godot and Not the digital keyboards.

Note: This issue didn't exist in any of the versions of Godot 4.5.1 or or 4.5.2, it only appeared in 4.6 and above.

Minimal reproduction project (MRP)

N/A

Can reproduce on Android.
It looks like only the shortcuts that are only in the menu are not working, other shortcuts like undo are also handled in TextEdit or other places.
It also happens with other shortcuts like ctrl+n for new script, ctrl+f to find, or alt+left for history go back.

• Probably caused by Android Editor: Adjust script editor size for virtual keyboard #112766
  It hides the menu bar when the keyboard is open, which likely prevents the shortcuts from working.

Maybe instead of hiding the menu bar entirely we could move it somewhere instead?

I think this happened even before that, since the earliest version of this problem was in Godot 4.6 which released a while back. But good observation on your part about the CTR + N shortcut, it only works when the script editor is in landscape, but in portrait mode it doesn't, which makes me suspect that different shortcuts aren't working for different reasons.

CTR + N : has something to do with the Top Menu Bar being available.

But for the other shortcuts that doesn't seem to be the case.

The PR I mentioned was added in 4.6
I tested in portrait and landscape, ctrl+n does not work in either for me, I think it is all the same issue. Opening the keyboard hides the menu bar in either orientation.

I just found a separate issue where you minimize the editor while the keyboard is open, and then go back to it will show the menu bar while the keyboard is still open. After doing this the shortcuts are working as expected.

Interesting, I'd like to test that as well, but what and how do you mean minimize the editor?

[kitbdev]

By minimize I mean go home on android to send the app to the background. (Or switch to another app).
