Ok. This is definitely a good reason to want to keep this key for other
purposes. Another is if the key is mapped in the windowing system
(Gnome or KDE) and is reused in the application. Can lead to
unpredicable results.
No. Not a good reason.
Why shouldn't a user decide to use available ALT combinations in one
application rather than another? I don't have to use Alt+Q for the
console but, even though I've done so, I could use it for something else
in OOo.
The console I'm talking about opens in a window like any application.
I'm not talking about the command line interface behind the gui. I'm
fairly certain you can't close that (them).
I've never used it because I avoid using Writer. If I had to do a lot
of wordprocessing, I'd get something else.
Why? I find that Writer is quite versitile, sometimes easier to use
than Microsoft Word. For basic documents, Word is sufficient, but since
I have to do complex documents which include tables of authorities, it
is actually easier to use Writer.
Off topic really, but who can resist a question like that?
On my older computer, a Writer document I used to consult often, while
migrating to Linux (and, therefore, OpenOffice), used to paralyse my system.
I could open and navigate through the pdf version without any
difficulty. I could also open and navigate through pdf documents many
times larger with only minor slowing of the system.
I later found that the default Writer template contains ~200 different
styles. That's plain silly because anyone wanting that many styles
would want to create their own.
I also tried unravelling the Writer API just out of interest and that's
a whole series of headaches on its own.
When you are used to better software, BG's "good enough" isn't.
Oddly, I received your message a long while before my earlier one. Now
the layout of the thread is all messed up. I'm at the computer today
because Sunday seemed my only chance to configure a new OS. That's
giving me probs too. :-(
