Coming from years of using GNOME, so please forgive me, if this is a stupid question.

When I have kwrite open and multiple documents open (one in each tab) and i press usual shortcuts like strg+c, strg+v, strg+s and so on, I get a annoying popup, which tells me that the shortcut has multiple meanings and it can't do what I want. If I have only 1 document open, it works fine.

From my point of view, this looks like a bug. Or do I have to setup something special?

Im using Arch Linux with kwrite 25.12.1
