The missing possibility to use the Alt key for shortcuts is IMHO one of the big
shortcomings of OOo and above all one main reason why OOo cannot be be used
easily as an MS Office replacement.
People who have to use Word and OOo Writer in coexistence want to use the same
key shortcuts for both applications and want therefore to customise OOo to use
the well-established word shortcuts. It is a hassle always having to switch
between different key sets if you switch applications. Word makes heavy use of
the Alt key, for instance when selecting heading levels.
The popularity of the AltKeyHandler Macro (even though this software is a hassle
to install - impossible for non-nerds... - and use - because it is not
integrated in the normal ui functions for keyboard assignments and furthermore
often fails to function correctly) and the frequency of questions regarding this
issue in discussion groups clearly shows that this issue MUST FINALLY BE SOLVED.
The fact that under some OSs the Alt key seems to be unusable for applications
(Linux?) cannot be accepted as a reason not to support this key in other OS
versions of OOo.
When will you finally act?
