Just look for the following folder:

<User installation folder>/user/config/soffice.cfg/modules/swriter/accelerator

Now you have to choose the correct language folder or "en-US" which is the fall back for a non-existing language.

(Indeed: my personal key board settings are different for different languages)

The folder contains a current.xml file which has your current keyboard mappings. You can remove this file to use the default settings provided by OpenOffice.org.

Thanks for this pointer.
Up until now these two lines are in the current.xml file:

   <accel:item accel:code="KEY_UP" xlink:href=".uno:MoveUp"
       accel:mod1="true"/>
   <accel:item accel:code="KEY_UP" xlink:href=".uno:MoveUp"
        accel:mod1="true" accel:mod2="true"/>

So in the first line the .uno :MoveUp has tot change.

And this is what happens when I choose Tools|Customize|Key board > Reset (upper of the two buttons). Result:

    <accel:item accel:code="KEY_UP" xlink:href=".uno:GoToPrevPara"
       accel:mod1="true"/>
    <accel:item accel:code="KEY_UP" xlink:href=".uno:MoveUp"
       accel:mod1="true" accel:mod2="true"/>

Ctrl+ up/down now works as in the new version.
This supports my idea that customisations in an older version of OOo, can prevent updates that come with newer versions. Correct?
Yes. A user configuration always wins even if you update your Office installation. I think every application does it in this way.


Furthermore about the Alt-Ctrl-up/down:
- on my Debian that moves between workplaces;
- on my XP that turns the whole display upside down and back.


I guess that your OS or a plugin processes the keyboard shortcuts. That's something we cannot prevent. On my system (Windows 2003) with Writer I can move a paragraph up- and downwards with Ctrl+Alt up/down.

Ctrl+ALt+ up/down does not work. My system / laptop uses it to turn the display - as mentioned .
There must be a little tool on your system which intercepts these keyboard shortcuts. That's why OpenOffice.org cannot "detect" these shortcuts.

But now that I know the uno command, I can edit the file to my very wish ;-)

Regards,
Carsten
