Bug ID: 106071
Summary: Customized ctrl-alt-shift-right shortcut doesn't work
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.5.1 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: j...@curioussymbols.com
Using the 'customize' dialog, I set the ctrl-alt-shift-right keystroke to
increase indent, and ctrl-alt-shift-left to decrease indent.
Despite showing up clearly in the shortcut list, these shortcuts have no effect
when I type them.
My system is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (with the Unity graphical shell)
This issue that makes this especially irritating is that recent changes to the
menu structure in LibreOffice have taken away the old 'alt sequences', eg Alt O
N etc, so there is currently no alternative keyboard sequence that I can use.
This issue is MAJOR because the broken keyboard functionality has painful
implications for RSI sufferers seeking to minimise mouse usage.
Perhaps what is happening here is that the operating system is somehow
'capturing' the keystroke event. I tested with 'xev' however and xev is able to
catch ctrl-alt-shift-right no problems.
Perhaps the customize dialog should use actual keystrokes instead of looking
them up from a list. That way you would be simultaneously testing whether LO
catches the relevant keystroke, and not just assuming that it can.
