I am using WPF4 v11.2.
If I have a range highlighted and I press Ctrl S, the range gets deselected. The grid does not appear to do this when other Ctrl key combinations are pressed.
Can you tell me why this is and how to prevent it?
Agreed! We are removing this now, so this mapping will not exist in 15.2.
Great, thanks. Actually, I would recommend not assigning any shortcut here. I've never come across an application that has a "clear selection" shortcut and wouldn't try finding one either. Whatever shortcut you may think of may already be used differently in a developer's application, so you would even increase the risk of breaking something by assigning a new shortcut.
I just stumbled upon this post, and I completely agree. We should not be using CTRL+S for anything since it is most often used for "Save". I will look into making a breaking change and removing this shortcut mapping. Is there a different combination you would recommend?
Just for the record: The keyboard shortcut you chose here is inappropriate. According to the Windows UX Guidelines, Ctrl+S *must* have no other meaning than "save". Assigning it to a rather obscure feature is simply the wrong thing to do.
