One reason I use Writer so infrequently is its dependence on the pointer thingie. I'm a touch typist and prefer to keep my hands on the keyboard while writing. To do this efficiently, in emacs and joe I use control-key chords (e.g.. ctrl-a to move to the head of the line, ctrl-e to move to the end, ctrl-f to move forward one character, ctrl-b to move back one character, ctrl-d to delete the character to the right of the point, etc.)
I tried to configure OO.o/Writer-3 to use these shortcuts, but failed because there is apparently a limited list that can be assigned to keys. Is there a way for me to assign my preferred shortcuts for use in Writer? I'm so used to them that I'm constantly doing things I don't intend and end up writing in a plain text editor because it's quicker and more efficient. Rich -- Richard B.
