--- Comment #20 from Vince <l...@4reher.org> --- As one who reported this bug a long time ago to https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=113502 and later as duplicate bug 53190, I have have been resigned to live without the ability of customizing Alt+(Right,Left) in Writer. I finally decided to tackle this as well as another keyboard customization bug and will be submitting a patch to gerrit soon. The ability to interactively resize writer tables using the keyboard has been around for a long time. This capability is described in the help: https://help.libreoffice.org/6.2/en-US/text/swriter/guide/table_sizing.html The way this capability has been implemented breaks the ability for users to customize table sizing keystrokes to do other things. My patch corrects that by giving priority to keyboard customization if it exists. The keyboard table resizing functionality is pretty nice and I thought there might be a case where even if a user wants to customize the table sizing keystrokes to do other things, they still might want have access to that functionality when needed. My patch provides for that as follows: When Caps Lock is turned on, customized table sizing keystrokes are ignored and instead will produce their default table sizing actions. Turning Caps Lock off restores custom action. Finally it should be noted even if Alt+Right or Alt+Left have NOT been customized and you are NOT in a table, they behave like Right and Left respectively instead of acting like dead keys. My patch does not address this idiosyncrasy. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
