The ellipsis is an one-stroke punctuation symbol, distinct from three 
consecutive full stops.
[…] ≠ [...]

Since it is a very oftenly used symbol, Microsoft Office's Word and even 
Microsoft Works' Word Processor facilitate it's input by providing a handy 
keyboard shortcut (Alt + Ctrl + .)
Also, if three consecutive periods are typed, they will auto-correct the symbol 
to an ellipsis.

Unfortunately, none of these features are available in OOo's Writer, which 
makes the input of en ellipsis very difficult. (you have to go through the 
insert menu - special character - general punctuation - ellipsis)

Wouldn't it be nice to have a similar shortcut, not necesarily the same, even 
though 'Alt + Ctrl + .' is already very popular?
