--- Comment #12 from Roman Eisele <[email protected]> ---
@ Mac OS experts:

Hello Norbert, hello Thorsten --

this is a Mac OS UI issue, which seems minor at the first glance, but is
nevertheless of importance, because it is very irritating especially for
long-time Mac OS users.

For example I myself thought for a long time that it was *impossible* in
OOo/LibreOffice to assign any keyboard shortcuts which involve the Option/Alt
key, because the “Customize” dialog window seems to show only keyboard
shortcuts combined with Shift and Control key. Only after some tests I realized
that it is just the symbol which is wrong -- the dialog window uses the ⌃
symbol, but it should use the ⌥ symbol instead which is the standard Mac
Option/Alt key symbol.

As daz-bugzilla has pointed out (see his nice screenshot!), this also means an
important inconsistency: as long as we are in the “Customize” dialog window,
the ⌃ symbol is used, but the real menus use the correct ⌥ symbol. This
inconsistency is irritating, too.

NB: This may be very well a general problem, not limited to the “Customize”
dialog. As bug 49280 -- “UI: Forms "next record" tooltip shows wrong shortcut”
shows, the wrong Option/Alt symbol ⌃ is also used in tooltips (very probably in
*all* tooltips, not only in “next record”), and I suspect that it will be also
used elsewhere throughout LibreOffice.

So maybe there is just a single central definition of the symbol which is wrong
and must be changed. (I have even searched the code for it, but LibreOffice is
too complex and my code reading facilities are too limited to find where the
problem lies.)

Can you please take a look at this bug? As said above, this looks like a minor
issue, but it is really irritating.

Thank you very much!
