[libreoffice-users] Shortcut change to display data source browser in Calc

[Alexander Thurgood]

Hi all Base users,

It seems the design team have taken it upon themselves to change the
shortcut for displaying the data source browser in Calc, you can read up
on the issue here :

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59418

and comment on it as you deem fit.

Needless to say, this change makes Writer and Calc have two different
shortcuts.

Calc (quote from design irc) : "it has been changed already, it is now
CTRL+SHIFT+F4 in calc"

Writer : F4

so much for application suite consistency, and documentation, and what
the hell...

Right now I am sorting the list by aisle and manually cutting
and pasting it into 3 columns.  I currently have the data in a
spreadsheet.

I tried using frames set for 3 columns, but when past the
sorted list into the frames it does not spill over onto the 2nd
and 3rd columns.

I would appreciate suggestions.

Thanks,

1) Create a custom Writer document with the fields you want printed.
2) attach the spreadsheet to Base. Create a query that meets your
sort/selection requirements.
3) print the document as a form letter.




I have never used the form letter generator.  Will it allow 1..n 
rows?

Mailing lists and aggregators are tools of the 90ies. Almost forgotten
in the twitter age.

Operating system?
Office version?
Office component? Writer? Calc? Base?
File format? doc, docx, odt, ods, xls, odb?
I don't understand how you want to dump 2 fields into 3 columns?
The term "pick list" is unclear. Listbox? Writer field of type "input list"?

Let's try to rephrase:
Using LibreOffice 5.0.2, I have a spreadsheet (*.ods) with a 2-column
list of item names and aisles numbers.
How can I include a properly sorted version of that list with a 3rd
column of ... in a Writer document?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Shortcut changes

[James E. Lang]

Thank you Alex for bringing up the topic of shortcut changes.

I guess there is no gate keeper WRT shortcut assignments in LO.

I am not a user of Base but I am a frequent user of Calc. Shortcut changes are 
extremely disruptive for users. My least favorite (most detested!!) such change 
occurred in version 4.4 of Calc when Alt+E,I was assigned to a brand new menu 
item in place of "Fill."

PLEASE, developers, think about the impact your change will have on existing 
users. Then if you deem the change IMPORTANT enough to be warranted make 
certain that A) any replaced usage of the shortcut is assigned a new SUITABLE 
replacement, B) the changed shortcut is applied universally wherever the 
functionality exists in any module of LO, and most importantly C) the changed 
shortcut is PROMINENTLY advertised, preferably several months in advance, with 
comments solicited and carefully considered. The longer a shortcut has existed 
the more attention should be given should be given to the impact of changing it 
with shortcuts that have existed for more than one full major release being 
ALMOST cast in granite. Developers should not operate in a tyrannical manner. 
They are talented and greatly appreciated but they are not omniscient gods.
