    No idea why Calc does not support the dash (hyphen). But it might be 
something that you have to live with.
    The F4 key is used to open the Data Window at the top of the OOo 
window. So, it is not available to use it as a short cut for something 
else. And I do not see how using Ctrl+Shift+Y should be any slower to use 
than the F4 key. The only difference I see is you need to use  fingers 
from two hands rather than one.
