--- Comment #5 from Boris DuĊĦek <[email protected]> --- I tend to disagree. I think even cross-platform products should as much as possible adhere to the conventions of the platform they run on. Because users of that platform will not compare the behavior of such software with behavior of the same software on a different platform. They will compare the behavior of such software with behavior of other software on the *same* platform in case there is a convention. For OS X user, it's of no use for the alt-arrow to behave consistently with Windows or other platforms they don't use. For OS X user, it's of great use for alt-arrow to behave the same as the rest of the system, which they do use and the way they are used to. And the same IMHO holds if you substitute "OS X" for "GNOME", "Windows", or any other platform. Note that on OS X, already many shortcuts behave differently because of text conventions - e.g. Ctrl+P does not start printing, but moves in text line up (in fact, a whole bunch of emacs shortcuts work in text components on OS X and therefore LO). Printing is instead done by Cmd+P. Because that's what the OS X user expects. Etc. I personally find the behavior of LO confusing exactly because I am used from other OS X apps to the OS X convention of what alt-arrow means. Not because the convention is "better" in any way. But because it is consistently used by OS X apps, Apple and non-Apple ones, and I am used to such behavior. And I don't care how LO behaves on other platforms as I don't use those platforms. So this is approximately how I think about it. Not cross-platform consistency, but platform consistency. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
