Bug ID: 164448
Summary: Shortcut keys list is incomplete - combinations are
missing
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.4.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Certain shortcut key combinations are not contained in the tools -> customize
-> keyboard -> shortcut keys-list, e.g.:
- [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[+] : well, that is not¹ suprising at a first glance: on the
german layout the [+] is a lower-case-character. it shares the same key with
the [*] as an upper-case-character on the german layout. therefore it makes
sense to not find the character [+] in a key combination that also contains the
[Shift]-modifier. so, one might suspect that there is the key combination
[Shift]+[Ctrl]+[*] somehwhere in the list. except it is not.
- [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[*] : is missing, as stated above.
- [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[_] : is missing. [_] is the upper-case character that shares
a key with [-] as lower-case on the german layout.
- [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[Ä] : is missing. the same applies to [Ö] and [Ü]
- [Shift]+[Ctrl]+['] : is missing. it is the upper-case character that shares a
key with [#] as lower-case on the german layout.
- [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[?] : is missing. [?] is the upper-case character that shares
a key with [ß] as lower-case on the german layout.
¹what i don't get is: why are there combinations for
- [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[;] AND [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[:] on the other hand ??? [;] and [:]
share the same key on the us layout, the first being lower-case, the latter
upper-case. how would the program distinguish these two when the key
combination contains the [Shift]-modifier? the same problem occurs with ['] and
[#] on the german layout.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to find certain key combinations in the tools -> customize -> keyboard
-> shortcut keys-list to assign keyboard shortcuts to (e.g. [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[*])
Actual Results:
a lot of shortcut key combinations are missing in the tools -> customize ->
keyboard -> shortcut keys-list.
Expected Results:
shortcut keys list should contain the desired shortcut key combinations.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Please, please implement shortcuts in a totally different way, like any other
program does: let the user assign the keyboard shortcut by letting them just
type it instead of forcing them to search for a probably nonexistent list
entry.
