Bug ID: 159709 Summary: Assignment of Shortcuts for Find messed up in the German version Product: LibreOffice Version: 24.2.0.3 release Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Writer Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: adalbert.hans...@gmx.de This bug has been discussed in https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/lost-strg-f-nicht-mehr-die-funktion-find-aus/102031 and from that discussion follows, that it has been introduced in the German version of Version: 24.2.2.0.0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 46169670ef4031888e143823b263577296d7867f CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE Calc: threaded According to erAck's comment the shortcut assignment for Search is unchanged in the en-US version. In many programs, the key combination Ctrl-F is assigned to the search function ("find"). In most cases, if something is selected, the selected item is immediately fed in as a search pattern. In the German localized version 24.2.2.0 the key combination Shift-Alt-F is provided for "Search" alias "Find". Shift-Alt-F is unfavorable because one easily hits the Super key instead of Alt. One can however manually assign "Search" to Ctl-F and re-establish the well known standard behavior of this key combination. Before doing so in the mentioned version, Ctrl-F has the following effect: * if the dock for style sheets (and possibly Navigator) are minimized, it makes them visible, * each further press switches between Styles alone and Styles+Navigator. Ctl-F5 also does not work as advertised in the dropdown list of Ansicht>Seitenleiste. It really is Ctl-F, as mentioned before, not Ctl-F5. In the mentioned discussion, erAck also mentions inconsistency across Writer Calc and so on. The last "slot assignment" changes there should be carefully investigated. Cave: If one assignment is shifted, others might be affected too. The similarity of the printed strings Ctl-F and CTL-F5 also suggests that this might merely be a typing error, which then may have been corrected by simply using a new key combination, without considering that Ctl-F is used for "Search" alias "Find" everywhere else. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
