Bug ID: 100908
Summary: Typing with Ctrl+Alt+ does not work
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: bjo...@gmail.com
I have a US English keyboard that does not have the AltGr key, there is just
one Alt key. Since I normally type in Swedish, I use a Swedish keyboard layout.
To type some special characters I have to use Ctrl+Alt+? instead of AltGr+?.
This works fine for all Windows programs I have tried, including all
LibreOffice applications - EXCEPT WRITER (which - of course - is the one I use
most). Typing Ctrl+Alt+? in Writer normally results in nothing, except
Ctrl+Alt+E invokes the Edit menu.
I am aware of some of the issues with Ctrl-Alt+ that have been discussed in
earlier bug reports. But I can not see why Ctrl+Alt+? should work in all other
LibreOffice programs, but not in Writer.
A general comment on keyboard shortcuts. I have noticed that some people are
annoyed over conflicts between Windows keyboard shortcuts and the LibreOffice
ones. Since there is an option to change keyboard shortcuts, why not add
another option - to use Windows standard as alternative to a LibreOffice
alternative. Let the user decide what suits him best.
