In the report designer, all my keyboard shortcuts are for example “Meta-C” or “Meta-V” ,  
instead of the standard “Ctrl-C” or “Ctrl-V”.

Is this necessary? It is counter-intuitive.

I’m using Kubuntu.

Thanks!

We are using the command key from your OS. You can probably change that in kubuntu.

The main designer is using Ctrl key. Why does the Rep designer do it differently?

Anyway, the command key tip might cut it.

What version of Ignition do you have? We changed Ignition to use the default keys in 7.3.4 I think.

7.3.4 currently, not sure how older Report Designer versions behaved, haven’t tried.
