Y+ and B+ keyboard shortcuts

Okay, I feel really dumb asking this, but how do you make the Y+/Y- and B+/B- shortcuts work? I've tried both sets of plus and minus keys on my keyboard and I've tried adding other modifier keys while pressing +/- with no luck. I know there are alternate shortcuts for select layer entities or select block references, but I can't leave this little mystery unsolved.

Y+/Y- was addressed and fixed after my report in the bugtracker:

https://www.qcad.org/bugtracker/index.p ... sk_id=2413

Most likely available with the next QCAD release.

I don't know if B+/B- was addressed by that too but maybe you could leave a hint at my bugreport.
Anyway - B+ has an alternative shortcut B[ and B- would be B]

I usually use the Context Menu with a right-click on the Block name in question because you need to select a Block in the Block List too.
Similar for Layers.

Y+/Y- and B+/B- shortcuts don't work but it is functional by the menu items.

I am able to deselect Blocks with 'B]' but it is not a two-key-stroke over here , I need <B> and then <Alt-Gr> + <]> to do that.

I cannot select Blocks with <B> and then <Alt-Gr> + <[>

Thanks, guys. Based on Andrew's note on the bugtracker entry, it looks like Y+/Y- has been deprecated and we just use YC/YD now, and a new commit on GitHub shows that B+/B- is now BK/BX, respectively. Do I have that correct?

Do I have that correct?

Yes, if now means the next snapshot or the next release ...
Or if you copy over the GitHub files to the installation folder to supersede the compiled ones.
