  Oops! Apparently that's for e-book management, not writing.

  I use LO only infrequently. Now I'me incentivized to avoid it. Perhaps
calibre works better for the occassional quickie that does not benefit from
typesetting with TeX.

Thanks for the thought,

If you've exhausted all the easy possibilities then it's time to go the
macro route. Just create a macro to do what you want and then assign
Ctrl-d to the macro.

Is there a way to assign the same function as the Del key to Ctrl-d?


  Apparently not. I asked this question on the LO mail list and that
generated two responses. One listed all the delete- options with
no mention of just delete next character. The second implied that I'm a
dummy for not using ctrl-x which the writer reminded me dates back to
WordStar days. Of course, ctrl-x cuts highlighted text and does not delete
the un-highlighted next character to the right.

  Rather amazing that there is apparently no way to mimic the Del key action
using ctrl-d. Oh, well.
