Summary: UI: Customize Shortcuts dialog has inverted workflow
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.1.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
The Keyboard tab of the Customize dialog has no optimal usability. It is not
obvious what to do, it is not obvious what selection will make a change.
Assuming an action has already a shortcut (subscript, Ctrl+Shift+B), and the
user wants to change it to Ctrl+Shift+H:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the Keyboard tab in the Customize dialog.
From top to bottom:
2. In Shortcut keys, select the new keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+H
3. In Functions, select the category "Format" and the function "Subscript"
(4. Then you would want to click "Modify")
Current behavior:
Once you click something in "Functions", the selected shortcut key gets
unselected.
Expected behavior:
It should not change your selection as long as you are in the process of
selecting a shortcut & function and click the button.
This workflow is inverted. As a minimum, the "Functions" section should be
above "Keyboard shortcuts" so that the user selects them in the correct order.
The whole dialog would better be redesigned. A list of all combinatorial
combinations of A-Z, Shift, Ctrl, Alt etc. is too long. It would be better
oriented on how other (more modern) applications are nowadays implementing such
a feature.
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.0.1.2 release
