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. -- Jim -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Thurgood <alex.thurg...@gmail.com> To: "users@global.libreoffice.org" <Users@global.libreoffice.org> Sent: Sat, 17 Oct 2015 10:09 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Shortcut change to display data source browser in Calc 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... -- Alex Thurgood Intellectual Property Attorney IP GALORE 4 rue Durette F-63500 BRENAT FRANCE Mobile : +33 6 40 59 99 16 Fax : +33 4 5680 9558 E-mail : alex.thurg...@gmail.com alex.thurg...@ipgalore.eu CONFIDENTIAL & PRIVILEGED The information in communications issued by the sender is confidential and privileged.
