Bug ID: 158887
Summary: Unable to disable the Ctrl key when using hyperlinks
within local documents, using windows 11
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.6.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]

Description:
Hi LibreOffice crew,
I discovered a bug in LibreOffice today.
I am writing several documents that require hyperlinks to bookmarks throughout
the documents. No internet links are required.
While the hyperlinks do work in LibreOffice when using the usual Ctrl + click
on my desktop pc running Windows 10, and on my new surface pro 9 that does not
suite my purpose.
I need to turn off the requirement for the Ctrl key to be pressed and I can do
that in Windows 10 on the desktop and the hyperlinks work with one click, but I
have been unable to do so on the Surface Pro9 in Windows 11.
When I will be using the documents, I will need to be able to click on links by
only using the touch screen of the laptop only, because I won’t have a keyboard
connected most of the time.
In MS Word, this can be done easily as follows: File/Options/Advanced, then
uncheck a box.
In Windows 10, I was able to disable the Ctrl key by using
“Tools/Customize/Keyboard/ but even when that condition is blank in Windows 11,
it still requires the Ctrl key to be pressed.
I understand that this is a very unusual request as most situations would call
for the use of the Ctrl key within documents for security reasons. In my case
that will not be a problem as the Surface pro will be used offline.
I apologize for such a long-winded explanation, but I wanted you to know not
only what my problem is, but how it occurs.
I really hope you can help me with this because I have run out of options. I
have looked at many other document programs and even considered setting up a
dual boot on the Surface pro to install Linux under which LibreOffice hopefully
would work, or (God help me – ChromeOS which I dislike immensely.)
If you have got this far, I thank you for your time, even if you are unable to
assist me with this problem.
Kind Regards,
Dave
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create 2 documents and a couple of bookmarks and hyperlinks in each.
2.Try to operate the hyperlinks without pressing the CTRL key.
3.
Actual Results:
If you do as I described above, you will get the usual "press the ctrl key+
click"
message if you try to do it without pressing the ctrl key.
Expected Results:
Nothing. The cursor remains at the hyperlink.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
If you can find a way to disable the ctrl key while running under LibreOffice
under window 11, a single click on the hyperlink will send the cursor to the
assigned bookmark. That is it in a nutshell.
If you can do that, I will be most grateful!
