You cited the online help correctly, but nevertheless this is a severe
usability issue
as many people are working on notebooks and toggling the numpad status on and
off counteracts the meaning of shortcuts.
Besides that this shortcut is well-known from Microsoft Excel and we certainly
do
not want to aggrevate Excel user's lives, do we?
The next good reason in changing this: As there is no means at all to assign
Strg
+Shift+Plus to this function, it will simply be inaccessible for notebook users
the
"usual" way.
And please let me point out this little "glitch" again: as long as there is no
differentiation in the shortcut assignment dialog, which clearly indicates that
a
certain key (numpad * vs normal *) is meant, this is really misleading and
irritating.
There certainly should be an option to assign both keys separately, but this
would
mean to rework the key binding dialog, thus, for the time being, it simply has
to be
asserted that if somebody chooses "*" or any other special character, he gets
what he chooses. This should be IMHO no big deal to check the pressed shortcut
key for it's analogon.
Please feel free to change the subject and to forward this issue to someone in
charge to solve this issue, but it is definitely an important matter.
The same applies to the other "numpad only" shortcuts.
BTW: I changed the priority to P2 as the descriptions says:
A critical usability problem;
e.g. a user interface which renders the underlying functionality
incomprehensible
for the majority of users
which is IMHO clearly the case here ... but no need to argue about this one. :)
Please just make sure that this issue is addressed properly, thank you very
much
for your patience and effort.
