I'd like to change the f5 shortcut from rotate counter-clockwise to move/copy.
I started with a fresh QCAD3.conf
In the preferences window: general: tool settings
First time I remove f5 from rotate counter-clockwise qcad crashes.
Second run it seems to work.
I add the shortcut f5 to move/copy and restart.
The shortcut doesn't work. And tool settings has a notice that there are conflicts.
When I change it to f3 it works.
btw the shortcut column don't show any shortcuts. See screenshot.
Closure comment
Fixed by workaround (disable changing of shortcuts for quick rotation tools)

Confirmed on win7: removing F5 aka [function5] leads to a critical crash.
The change is not updated.
Adding [function8] results in a conflict with Display Distance/Angle.
F3 aka [function3] isn't used elsewhere and is valid.
Update this task to Critical!
I cannot reproduce a crash here under Linux or Windows.
This has been fixed by a workaround: removing these tools from the shortcut preferences to avoid a potential crash.
