Bug ID: 92686
Summary: FEATURE REQUEST: Better UI for keyboard bindings
configuration (including two keybindings for the same
action)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Configuring keybindings in LibreOffice is major pain in the ass, especially on
MS Windows, where Ctrl-Alt bindings are indistinguishable from AltGr (right
Alt) bindings used for international keyboards (like Polish programmers
keyboard). Notepad++ shows that it is possible to distinguish between Ctrl-Alt
and AltGr, but LibreOffice currently cannot do that; this is also against
Microsoft recommendations (some netbooks do not have right Alt, so they need to
be able to use Ctrl-Alt emulation).
Scrolling through the list of possible keybindings is tedious, compared to MS
Word / MS Office (and Atom editor) solution of just entering key we want to
assign (the advantage is that you see if it is free or not at first glance).
This is especially tedious if you want to have backup binding, i.e. two key
bindings to the same action: 1) you scroll all the way down to the binding you
want to use, 2) you select the action, 3) if there was keybinding, for some
[censored] reason LibreOffice rewinds you to that keybinding, as if having it
in list of binding would be not enough, 4) you scroll all the way down *again*
to keybinding you want 5.) click Modify, 6.) see two keybindings for action.
Also, if you select for example Ctrl-Alt-Shift-N for "Normal" style, and have
Polish programmers keyboard, what you would get is 'Ń'... and there is nothing
in the keyboard configuration UI that even hints at this issue.
It would also be nice to have keybindings in human readable format (XML, JSON,
INI, XKB, xmodmap,...), just compiled to binary internal format on loading.
