I am just a common user and not familiar with the details of what you refer to.
While looking for solutions to my problem, I noticed
1. that a number of Writer shortcuts are preaassigned to certain key
combinations, 2. that many key combinations don´t have any preassigned
shortcuts and 3. that in any case you can freely assign other functions to any
key combination, but then you only have a choice of prelisted Writer functions.
My point is, that if e.g. Ctrl+Alt+2 produces a @ character on my Swedish
keyboard layout (which is what Windows normally does), then why shouldn´t I be
able to choose to have the @ typed in my Writer document, even if it cannot be
ruled out, that another user in another environment, who would choose to do the
same, might find that Windows produces a different, more troublesome result?
That is the beauty of free choice, none else needs to follow, if the result is
bad for him.
However, this is just a side line. My main point is still why typing with
Ctrl+Alt+? doesn´t work in Writer when it does work with all other LibreOffice
applications.
