Comment on Pidgin 3.0.0 Experimental 1 Announcement

Comments

My most vivid memory of using pidgin on a daily basis is inability to copy-paste using ctrl+c, cuz someone decided to bind this hotkey for something else. Luckily this was many years ago. Textbook example of what happens when developers design UX/UI.

While there have been clipboard bugs, we've never used those keystrokes in the UI. However, GTK2 did have a way to let users change the menu shortcuts by hovering over the menu item and hitting a new keystroke and I suspect that's what happened here.
