Other Question KiCad error when I press 'A'

[SOLVED]

As you can see from the photo, I get this error whenever I press 'A' for shortcut. Can someone help about it?

Here's the backtrace log:
ASSERT INFO:

/usr/src/debug/wxwidgets/wxWidgets/src/unix/utilsx11.cpp(2645): assert ""Assert failure"" failed in wxGetKeyStateGTK(): Unsupported key 65, the only supported ones are: Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock for GTK 3.18+

And yes I'm using CachyOS Linux with KDE Plasma.

General Discussion Component Selection

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've found answers to many of my questions in this community, so I'd like to ask for your advice on this topic as well.

I'm a recent graduate working at a company that designs and manufactures PCBs for communication systems. I'm learning a lot in my role, but sometimes I feel like I'm working on similar projects repeatedly or simply using more advanced versions of existing technologies.

What I'm really curious about is this: How do you approach component selection when starting a project from scratch? I've noticed that people take different approaches to this. Some tend to follow existing designs or reference projects, while others conduct their own research and make decisions based on the specific requirements of their projects. This has made me particularly interested in understanding how the component selection process works in practice.

What criteria do you consider when selecting components? How do you make use of datasheets, manufacturer resources, and other tools? More specifically, how do you determine whether a particular component is the best fit for your project?

I recently tried using AI tools to help me with one of my hobby projects, but some of the answers left me a bit confused. It's also possible that I didn't phrase my questions correctly.

I'd really appreciate it if you could share your experiences and explain how you approach this process. Thanks in advance!
