--- Comment #13 from pb <[email protected]> ---
Ok, I have figured out how to trick the UI into behaving the way I want.

There appears to be some (not immediately obvious to my feeble brain) algorithm
that decides which letter of the submenu command will be used for keyboard
walking of the menus, as opposed to that being hardwired.  (In the version of
excel I use, the user can set this letter with a sentinel character in the
command name via the customize feature, which incidentally is incredibly klunky
in excel, but I see no similar sentinel char mechanism in LO.)

So, it turns out that it appears to be sufficient to use the LO customization
UI to just change the order of submenus in the 'insert' menu, so that
'Cells...' comes after 'Columns' rather than the default of before.  In that
case the mystery algorithm chooses the 'C' of 'Columns' (presumably because it
is seen sooner), rather than the 'C' of 'Cells...', and therefore "alt-i alt-c"
inserts a column as I want.

However, although this behavior allows me to achieve my desired keystroke
behavior, it is actually a bug:

Namely, changing the *order* of items in a menu should not also have the side
effect of changing the *keystroke sequence* that invokes that command.
