Not quite. The backspace key deletes the character to the left of the
cursor's position while the Del key deletes the character to the right of
the cursor's position. I want to make ctrl-d function like the Del key.
Yes sorry, that is correct. They are different deletions. The "Delete"
performs what is also called a "forward delete".
Have looked at the project source code. The forward delete action is among
a class of actions directly implemented in the edit shell and assigned to
the keyboard (symkey) for the Delete key.
It is not available to assign to additional Keyboard shortcut or menu
entry.
Doing so would require creation of an UNO commond to perform the deletion,
that would be available for use in UI customization.
That seems like something that should be corrected. What other actions
are directly implemented like that?
In the meantime, would it work to define a macro that does
forward-character and then backward-delete, and bind it to Ctrl-D?
- Robert
Creating a Macro that does do just that would introduce a (maybe)
unwanted feature.
Executing this while the cursor is at the last position of a document,
the forward-character wil do nothing, but the backward-delete will
remove the last chaacter of your document (if any).

For the interested people in the macro i used to test this:
sub testCtrlD
rem --
rem define variables
dim document as object
dim dispatcher as object
rem --
rem get access to the document
document = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
rem --
dim args1(1) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args1(0).Name = "Count"
args1(0).Value = 1
args1(1).Name = "Select"
args1(1).Value = false
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:GoRight", "", 0, args1())
rem --
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:SwBackspace", "", 0, Array())
rem --
rem dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:MacroDialog", "", 0, Array())
end sub

However, if you assign ^D to this function, the Del key might lose it, unless this is working at the OS level. It seems that LO only allows at most one shortcut key for each function. -- Piet van Oostrum WWW: http://piet.vanoostrum.org/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

The *delete* you want is assigned in LibreOffice via the "Backspace" function, aka a *rubout*. In Tools -> Customize: Keyboard tab, select the Ctrl+d key--then search in the Functions field for "backspace", then click on Modify. The Ctrl+D key will drop double underline and take on Backspace. Both it and the Backspace key will now show that function. -- Sent from: http://document-foundation-mail-archive.969070.n3.nabble.com/Users-f1639498.html -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
