--- Comment #20 from ady <[email protected]> --- The amount of dupes will keep increasing with time, because the method is very popular (and certainly not deprecated from the POV of users) in certain cases as mentioned in comment 6. Since these popular shortcuts were ignored when the conflicting shortcuts were introduced, we could infer that: * newly proposed (or changes of) shortcuts in LO are not evaluated as consciously/deeply/broadly as they might need to; and * knowledge or awareness of these specific (popular) shortcuts is/was not (completely) understood nor investigated nor tested (as they should, at least once). So, FYI and JIC: * The relevant shortcuts (in MS Windows at least) are (exclusively): [ALT]+[Numbers in the Numeric Pad] * Regarding the amount of digits for the shortcuts, using 3 digits (from the NumPad) is not the same as using 4 digits (from the NumPad). For instance, [ALT]+([1]-[2]-[3]) does not introduce the same character as [ALT]+([0]-[1]-[2]-[3]). * Numbers in the upper row of the normal keyboard are _not_ equivalent in terms of these shortcuts * [AltGr] is _not_ equivalent in terms of these shortcuts; they work with [ALT] * Other combination of special keys are not supposed to be equivalent, but some software aimed at accessibility-needs might interpret some other combination of keys, or some "gesture", as equivalent to [ALT]. Other software (or hardware) might use some alternative keys in order to "fake" the Numeric Pad when the real keyboard does not include a real one. * Regarding the amount of digits for the shortcuts, using 3 digits (from the NumPad) is not the same as using 4 digits (from the NumPad). For instance, [ALT]+([1]-[2]-[3]) does not introduce the same character as [ALT]+([0]-[1]-[2]-[3]). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
