With a fresh profile, Alt+a brings up the table submenu. Since I don't need to access the table submenu very often, I prefer for that keystroke to do something more useful to me: execute my MyFavoriteMacro. I customize the keyboard to assign Alt+a to do just that. When I need to access the table submenu, I can still do so with a variety of other methods: mouse click; type F6 (focus on menubar), followed by 'a'; type F10, followed by right arrow 5 times. All of this worked just fine for many years but stopped working recently. > Alt+<key> combinations should not be used for shortcuts at all. Where does this come from? The capability was introduced a long time ago, after lots of impassioned discussion (see https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=4756). I suspect a lot of people are using it, including those who reported bug 146174. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
