Bug ID: 158786
Summary: [regression] alt+number codes for unicode symbols
don't work anymore after updating to LibreOffice
7.6.3.2
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.3.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In previous LibreOffice version ALT+number codes inserted unicode symbols in a
Writer text document. (For example ALT+168 inserts the "¿" symbol.)
However after updating to LibreOffice 7.6.3.2 this is broken, because the
ALT+number shortcut now opens different sidebars in Writer. For example ALT+2
opens the "style" sidebar.
Unfortunately Tools > customize > keyboard > shortcut keys cannot be used to
change this behaviour, because no ALT+number keyboard shortcuts show up for
deletion.

The suggested workaround in this thread using ALT+X is too cumbersome.
Steps to Reproduce:
(on a Windows computer)
1. enter ALT+168
Actual Results:
the "properties" sidebar opens
Expected Results:
the "¿" symbol should be inserted
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
