John, Doesn't matter if it is shown with an uppercase D or a lowercase d; press and hold the ctrl key while pressing the d/D key. No shift key involved.
Actually, it does not list any of the lowercase letters with Ctrl, only the uppercase letters. I selected a word, then used Ctrl-d, and it gave the word double underlining, even though the d was lowercase. Then I tried Ctrl-D and it right-aligned the whole line, the same as Ctrl-r. This is very strange. Fortunately, I rarely use either function, and if I do I use the mouse on the Formatting toolbar, so I'm not highly motivated to sleuth out the cause. Still, I am curiositized as to why Ctrl-D is defined as one thing but does another.
Official LO docs show the default for ctrl-D as double underline. As I wrote, here there is no definition for Ctrl-D or Ctrl-d. The keyboard shortdut lists has all uppercase letters. When you save a document to you use Ctrl-Shift-S or just ctrl-s? Those of us who use writing tools such as emacs, vim, joe, and LaTeX are used to the emacs key shortcuts which use ctrl-d to delete the character immediately right of the cursor (called the 'point' in emacs). Not being able to assign that function to ctrl-d in LO Writer is frustrating. (As is LO moving lines to the left margin when I have indented them two spaces.)
