------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Aug 18 16:12:56 -0700 2006 ------- I have described an alternative method to implement this in issue: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=67500 Instead of using a key combination, a simple work-around would be to use automatic word-replacements, e.g. a' => to some special character (e.g. ä) A' => another special character (e.g. Ä) a+ => some other special character ... Hovever, for this to work, the automatic replacement should be alble to perform replacements inside words, too (not just whole words). Therefore, - either create a second replacement list, that specifies strings that are always replaced, even if it is not a word (e.g. Gra'ser => Gräser, in German grass) - or implement the more advanced feature of issue 67500 (i.e. wildcards in replacement lists) This type of implementation will not depend on any keystroke combinations (like alt+shift+something), and would easy allow implementing many special characters simultaneously, withoud the need for very dumb and hard to remember key combinations. (When choosing key combinations just for a few special characters, it is easy to assign meaningfull ones. However, if you try to extend the list of those special chars, you get really fast into trouble. My solution creates more logical pseudo-shortcuts.) If you find my solution good, please vote for that issue, too. Some of the developers showed somehow less optimism for that one. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
