Bug ID: 101211
Summary: navigator action missing from customize dialog
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.2.3.3 release
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
In the navigator dialog there are two actions (represented by: < and > and with
tooltips "Previous Page" and "Next Page"). When I click on one of these, it
puts the top of the next or previous page at the top of the view port and
that's exactly what I think Next Page and Previous Page should do. However,
this is NOT what I get when I press PgDn or PgUp on my standard windows
keyboard. Pressing either of those keys scrolls the visible text (up or down
depending on which key you pressed) for a distance roughly equal to the height
of the viewport and it moves the insertion point. "OK, I said" (when I
discovered this problem some years ago", "I'll customize my keyboard to do what
I want done then I press PgUp or PgDn. I find, in the list of functions I can
assign the PgUp and PgDn keys two sets:
Next Page and Previous Page
and
To Begin of Next Page and To Begin of Previous Page.
The first pair does the scrolling action described above. The second pair
moves the insertion point to the first character of the first line of the next
or previous page, but it does not put that line at the top of the view port.
The only way to achieve that (and as I said before, that is what I want to
achieve) is to use the buttons in the tiny Navigator dialog. So I conclude that
the action those buttons perform cannot be assigned to the PgUp or PgDn keys on
a standard keyboard. Why not? Why won't you let me do what I want to do here?
Plainly the code for the actions in question is already written and included in
the program for a very long time. It would be a trivial thing to add the
actions in question to the "Functions" list in the customize keyboard dialog,
but I raised this question for the first time perhaps five or six years ago and
nothing has ever come of it. Why can't we get this fixed. Thanks.
