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.

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.

Fixed by workaround (disable changing of shortcuts for quick rotation tools)
