--- Comment #9 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Vince from comment #8) > > Perhaps I didn't describe it precisely. 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. For vcl backends other than gtk3 it still does. Only the gtk3/4 implementation has been affected. > > 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. <Alt>+<key> are still fully customizable, except the behavior difference in handling the accelerators vs. shortcuts got a major tweak for supporting gtk3 DE with the work on bug 92630, which now splits the accelerator key sequence. <Alt> is now the gtk3 compliant toggle to show the mnemonics assigned, the underlined character for the lable. So now <alt>, <f> in sequence will open the menu; <alt>+<f> will read the short-cut if assigned in the customize dialog, except on gtk3/4--check it out with the vcl 'gen', 'kf5', or on a Windows build. If you don't like that gtk3 compliance feature, don't use a gtk3 based DE. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
