THIS may be my chance! Please bear with me ...
Good evening
I used to have a "highlighting function" assigned to certain hot keys
using MS Word and Wordperfect. With OpenOffice I could not figure out
how make that work (and so far nobody on the mailing list could tell
either although I have asked several times ...), so I created a macro.
In LO I found, that you CAN assign a function that way, but it does not
do yet what I want to do: for example assign upper or lower case -->
Tools - Customize - Keyboard - Format - *** some attribute ***.
You can do THAT. But ...It switches either to lower or to upper case,
but does not TOGGLE between those two states. You need to assign
"lowercase" (or initial caps for example) to a different shortcut.
(I hate MS Word, but at least it gives you the toggle between these
attributes - which is the convenience word processor users (like me) are
looking for.)
Since I have asked similar questions several times already (that was
about highlighting) but NEVER got any answer, I assume that this is
either technically not possible - or nobody knows the answer.
The stupid thing is, LO (or OO which I used before = exact same
behavior), comes with a DEFAULT function of TOGGLING between superscript
(or subscript) and normal script.: Ctrl+Shift+P.
If this function **IS** available for superscript (for example), I
cannot understand why this is NOT available for attributes like bold,
highlight, upper case etc. Is there any essential difference between one
font attribute and another???
With all due respect, but I think this is a really stupid/annoying behavior.
If there IS a solotion to this problem I would really like to know!
Thank you.
Thomas
Hi Thomas,
The only thing I can suggest it to file a bug report/ feature request on
the bug tracker. To get started go to
http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/pre_submission.html . You will
need to register if you have not done so to file the report.
