Hi,

Recently (1) scroll lock has started being used to navigate the document
(Same as in MS Excel). However I use scroll lock to indicate current
input language...

Is it possible to add an option for this?

Thanks

Seems reasonable, it was also requested in bug 46200 comment 31 and in bug 
111627 (which also seems to be about a bug, but needs more details from the 
reporter).
I'm not sure why the feature should be deactivated by default, though, that 
needs further reasoning. CCing the others who requested this before.

UX team, please suggest a configuration option for this.

In debian, in a multi language config it should be disabled by default
as debian uses scroll lock like this by default. On other distros it
shouldn't.

Hi,

I would say, to keep it simple, the option shall be enabled by default
(like in MS Excel) in all distributions - if needed a user could disable
it somewhere in configuration - and for this we would need an option
somewhere in preferences.

I also do use Debian with two keyboard layouts and don't use the scroll
lock's LED to show me which keyboard layout I use. I can see it in Gnome
or XFCE taskbar.

Regards

This "new feature" is really annoying. Why do I must change my system

LED indication of the keyboard layout is the default for Debian based distros 
which is a significant percentage in terms of number of users. So I don't see 
why LibreOffice should make its default configuration conflicting with all

Besides, as is was pointed out, it is just a third way to scroll. It is an open 
question how many people prefer this one.

When a user wants to configure the scroll key him or herself, why not?
By default it will be empty, of course.

Removing UX, dev please add scrollkey to customization.

Yes, I was talking about default setting. User should be able to
customize it, no question.

This is not the disturbing of a normal feature: some people assigned a
feature to the Scroll Lock key  because of a bug in X11 and Wayland
which prevents the key from working as expected. The normal feature, as
originally intended, is to modify the behavior of arrow keys and that’s
what LO Calc now does.

Also, adding an option to disable this feature means more complexity. Is
the feature on or off, how will the ordinary user (possibly used to
Excel which supports it) will figure it out? Not everybody reads the
release notes. And what happens when or if the bug is fixed in X11 or in
Wayland? (See <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94226> and
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104050>).

So, IMHO, no option to disable this is needed for the reasons explained
above. If, however, developers decided to add such an option I think it
should be disabled by default and the decision to enable it should be
left to distro maintainers and/or the end users in order to avoid
confusing the huge majority of the user base. Just my 2 cents.

I agree with kolrac on this; when an option is available, it's
maintainers' task to define customized defaults when they know it makes
sense on the systems they maintain (in the absence of some universal API
to obtain meaningful default from system). I don't think that we should
try to change the default in LibreOffice from current mode; just
introduce the option to disable use of Scroll Lock state for navigation,
and let maintainers/users to decide.

This feature whose only purpose seems to be to mimic Excel conflicts
with both software and hardware in the real world. The comments here
have mentioned some software it conflicts with. In terms of hardware,
the popular Cooler Master CMStorm keyboard uses the scroll lock key to
turn the backlight on and off. The keyboard is such that you need to
have the backlight on, day or night, to see the key labels. This means
that if you use LibreOffice you're either stuck in the bizarro scroll
mode, meaning you can't use the keyboard to move around a spreadsheet,
or you have to turn off the backlight, meaning you can't see the labels
on your keys.

That said, using the latest LibreOffice, 6.1.0.3, in OpenSUSE
Tumbleweed, and a CMStorm keyboard, the scrolling no longer occurs. I
assumed LibreOffice turned it off until I found this page. If
LibreOffice didn't make the change, I wonder if OpenSUSE did? Very
weird.

I use ScrollLock LED as indicator of alternative keyboard layout:

    org.mate.peripherals-keyboard-xkb.kbd options
['grp\tgrp:ctrl_shift_toggle', 'lv3\tlv3:ralt_switch',
'compat\tmisc:typo', 'compat\tnumpad:microsoft',
'grp_led\tgrp_led:scroll']


Currently all modern version from Ubuntu (in 18.04 LTS repository and in PPA) 
are affected by this bug. I do not want to disable ScrollLock LED indicator.
So please add option on yours (LibreOffice) side.
