      The problem I described is not related to shortcuts (or Notepad++). It is related to wine.
      Running regular Notepad with ‘wine notepad’ ends with same results. ctrl-+ echos ‘+’ to document.
      I changed the zoom shortcuts to ctrl-- and ctrl-= to avoid it.

      Wine is great but not perfect.

        actually I don’t see this behavior with my linux installation.
        What I do have is an ESC when pressing escape and shift together,
        therefore I disabled all those asccii control chars using python script and startup.py
        file.

        editor.assignCmdKey(ord('E') + (KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(ord('R') + (KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(ord('Y') + (KEYMOD.SHIFT + KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(ord('W') + (KEYMOD.SHIFT + KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(ord('O') + (KEYMOD.SHIFT + KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(ord('A') + (KEYMOD.SHIFT + KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(ord('D') + (KEYMOD.SHIFT + KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(ord('G') + (KEYMOD.SHIFT + KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(ord('H') + (KEYMOD.SHIFT + KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(ord('Z') + (KEYMOD.SHIFT + KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(ord('X') + (KEYMOD.SHIFT + KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(ord('C') + (KEYMOD.SHIFT + KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(ord('V') + (KEYMOD.SHIFT + KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(ord('B') + (KEYMOD.SHIFT + KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(ord('N') + (KEYMOD.SHIFT + KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(ord('6') + (KEYMOD.SHIFT + KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(189 + (KEYMOD.SHIFT + KEYMOD.CTRL << 16),2172)
editor.assignCmdKey(7 + (KEYMOD.SHIFT << 16),2172)

        Maybe this can be useful for you as well.

        Btw, 2172 is SCI_NULL!

        Cheers

          Occasionally I fat-finger something and end up with a control character of some sort in my text. For example, I remember recently getting “CAN” or “DC1” or “ETB” in white surrounded by a black border when I did this. Is there a way to assign all non-normal (define normal as something on a key that actually appears the same way when typed) and non-shortcutmapper-mapped keys to SCI_NULL? This would stop the fat-finger mistakes.

          Clearly one can do it as Claudia has, but that sort of becomes a maintenance nightmare to do each keycombo individually…

            Linux has so many flavors and there are so much variety in the background infrastructure that every machine may act differently.
            At work, under ubuntu 14.04 with gnome-shell (and whoever knows what else) I see the behavior I described and also some GUI artifacts like shrunken title bars for windows.
            At home under Linux Mint I don’t see the GUI artifacts. Don’t remember if the keyboard issues are there.

              after spent a couple of minutes thinking about it, I don’t see
              a built-in way or using a scripting plugin to achieve this.
              Another approach might be to register a charadded callback function
              and check if char is < 32. E.g.

              def CHARADDED(args):
    c = args['ch']
    if c < 32 and c not in [9,10,13]:
        editor.deleteBack()
    
editor.callbackSync(CHARADDED,[SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.CHARADDED])

              Or hooking (maybe it isn’t required but getting handle and search controls)
              npp might be working as well, something like
              first set all key combination to sci_null and then get what is configured as editor shortcut
              from npp and set it again.
              First question would be, how to handle shortcut map changes during runtime.
              Also, not sure how easy this can be done but I will give it a try when back from work.

              Cheers

                That short script seems to solve my fat-finger issues; seems so obvious now… Thank you.

                  I just noticed when I accidentally typed ctrl+backspace that a “funny character” was inserted into my document. After a little investigation I changed the relevant line in the script above to:

                  if (c < 32 and c not in [9,10,13]) or c == 0x7F:

                    Hi Scott,

                    ahh - one of my wanted to test but forgot about it totally.

                    Hmm, don’t have it on my side but thx for enhancing anyway. :-)
                    Normal config defines ctrl+backspace as delete word left.
                    Do you use sync or async callback? Could it be that backup functionality
                    is jumping in? Another py script running in parallel?

                    Cheers
                    Claudia

                      I have no shortcut defined for SCI_DELWORDLEFT.
                      Additionally, I have no shortcut for the Ctrl+Backspace combination (tested by setting one for a command that has none, and saw “no conflicts” result).
                      Using the script as it was provided (thus “callbackSync”).

                        and that’s the reason why I don’t have it. De-assigning the shortcut and et voila
                        I do have the same BS (no, not for Bull…) :-)

                        Cheers

                          Just noting that a similar thing is discussed in this thread as well:
