I have written two macros to extend key short cut assignments for
Writer.

AltKeyHandler: allows for Alt key assignments. It uses an alternative
user interface assigning key shortcuts which I find more intuitive (but
then I wrote it). 

KeyHandler: allows for key sequences for key shortcuts. The user
interface is less intuitive but it was a quick hack of AltKeyHandler so
was easy to implement.

The macros are in .sxw files (I wrote them before 1.9.x and haven't
updated them), available from:
http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/

I don't have strong views on what key sequences should do what, but I
definitely think that OOo should have more possible key sequences to
assign to commands than it currently does. I would be quite happy for
these macros to become redundant.

Cheers, Ian
