Dear all,
I am Thomas and use OpenOffice at home and at my work place with a
classic, 104-key PC US Keyboard. I sometimes write documents in French
(my native language) and it is a pain in the neck to use accents because
I need to open the "Insert/Special Character" menu and select my é from
the array. I would love OO to allow for some shortcuts to my favorite
'diacritrics' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic) to speed my
typing. Some of my colleagues still stick to " the other" word
processing software because of that feature.
I went to the developer's page on the web site but could not decide if
this feature was: already implemented (I use 2.0.3), in project (which
sub-project) and I have no clue whether the OO community does or does
not want this sort of shortcuts to be implemented?
I was thinking of the classical shortcuts like {<Ctrl> '} for the cute
accent, {<Ctrl> `} for the grave one and perhaps {<Ctrl> ^} and {<Ctrl>
"} (for the umlaut).
I can code in C++ but I really have no clue where to start with (and
which sub-project to contact). But again, perhaps you do not want these
shortcuts and perhaps they are already implemented somewhere.
Cheers,
Thomas
