Bug ID: 159709
Summary: Assignment of Shortcuts for Find messed up in the
German version
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.0.3 release

OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal

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

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.
