--- Comment #5 from Ady <[email protected]> ---
@dg1727,

Many applications explicitly expose their keyboard shortcuts to “everything”,
including in their context menus. Such exposure helps users in their learning
curve.

A spreadsheet application has many features / functions; so many, that the
decision to add a certain function (and not to add another one in its place) to
the context menu (or an icon to the default bar) is not so trivial.

With so many functions needed for such variety of usage/users, I would tend to
think that when one method of “easy-access” is already available for one
specific function, it would be desirable to let *other* functions take
advantage of other kinds of “easy-access” (as opposed to repeat the same
function again and again in each and every alternative method of
“easy-access”).

More importantly, for every enhancement there is also a “price” (or more than
one).

In this case, for every time the context menu is used, the relevant functions
are brought up. How much additional resources (time, CPU cycles, RAM, screen
space...) would be needed if the keyboard shortcuts would be also displayed?

Additionally, is this request so much important than others, that it deserves
the valuable time of LO developers? This is an important “price” to be
evaluated, specially having bug reports waiting for so much time to be
resolved.

The fact that the (many) keyboard shortcuts are already available to the user
by other means (in menus, help file, guides, wiki), is relevant so to decide
whether the request is worth its development “price”.

In this case, I just posted my perspective, so the developers can consider it.
I have not changed the status of this report in any way, and I leave the
evaluation to the developers.

Regards,
Ady.
