Zugg Software :: View topic - [2.20] Ctrl-S does not save changes in PE (FIXED in 2.21)

In 2.18 and previous versions, I could use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-S while in the Package Editor (PE), to save the changes to whatever alias/variable/etc I happened to be working on. The shortcut is still listed on the PE menu, but does not appear to work in 2.20 - when I type Ctrl-S, nothing happens, the Save button still appears lit, and my changes have not yet been applied.

Clicking on the 'Save' button in the PE toolbar still works, and it still does an auto-save whenever I close the PE or switch to another setting.

Procedure

Run CMUD
Type ESC to dismiss the sessions window
Type Ctrl-G to open the Package Editor
Click the 'New' dropdown and select 'alias'
Type 'foo' in the alias name box
Type '#show v1' in the alias value box
Click the Save button.
WITHOUT CLOSING THE PE, click the command line and type 'foo'. You should see 'v1' in the main window.
Hit Ctrl-G to bring the PE back to the front.
Change the value of the 'foo' alias to '#show v2'
Hit Ctrl-S to (supposedly) save the change. Note that the 'Save' button does NOT grey out.
WITHOUT CLOSING THE PE, click on the command-line and type 'foo'. You should see 'v2', but instead you'll get 'v1' again in the main window.
Hit Ctrl-G to bring the PE back to the front.
Click the Save button.
WITHOUT CLOSING THE PE, click the command line and type 'foo'. You should see 'v2' in the main window.

This is a minor annoyance, since I can click the Save button or just close the PE to save changes. But I work primarily on my laptop, and using the mouse is somewhat less convenient than using keyboard shortcuts. So while I'm actually working on a script, my fingers are trained to just hit Ctrl-S Ctrl-TAB when I'm done typing and ready to test - this puts me in the command-line, and I can hit Ctrl-G to pop back to the setting I'm editing. Currently, that process is failing and I have to switch to the trackpad to save my changes.

(It's also not possible to use Alt-F Alt-S to save the setting, although Alt-F Alt-A will get you to the Save Package As dialog...)
