This is a right royal pain when trying to use. This issue has been fixed upstream. Version bumping to current eric-5.1.7 resolves the issue. (simple ebuild rename, nil ebuild changes required). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge eric 2. eric5 3. try to cut/copy paste with shortcuts Actual Results: cut/copy/paste shortcuts fail to work menu equivalents work as expected Expected Results: shortcuts should work The url link appears to references eric4....it appears to have been fixed in the eric5 tree as well.
dev-util/eric-5.1.7 has been available in Progress Overlay since 2011-12-06.
Excellent - looks like its pipelined to go mainstream. I'll resolve bug on that basis.
