Keyboard shortcut for creating a link URL doesn't work

Shawn Jamison March 1, 2023

My keyboard shortcuts are having trouble when adding a comment to a Jira issue.

I'm using the latest version of Chrome and v9 of Jira.

When using the inline editor or the edit dialog to add a comment to a Jira issue the CTRL+K doesn't open the create link dialog.  Instead it takes me to the Chrome address bar.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm using Cloud Jira, but when I'm in Chrome or Edge, if my cursor is not in the actual editor for a field, Ctrl-K takes me to the browser address bar.  If my cursor is the JIRA editor, then Ctrl-K brings up the Create Link Dialog.  It seems that it is only going to work inside of the editor.  If you're outside of the editor, I would figure the browser functionality is taking over and sending you to the address bar.

Thanks for the response!

This is happening while in the editor. 

While in an issue, I can click on the Edit button, click in the description editor or in the comment line/editor.

Press ctrl+k and it jumps to the address bar.

If I click on the link button it inserts this text instead of opening the Create Link Dialog

[link title|http://example.com]

 

While in this editor adding this comment,  ctrl+k opens the Create link dialog so I don't believe its Chrome causing this issue

Sorry, I can't test on server.  Sounds like it might be worth opening a ticket.
