------- Additional comments from mba...@openoffice.org Sun Feb 15 13:58:30 +0000 2009 ------- It is the status quo especially under Linux, that many of OOo's pre-defined keyboard shortcuts cannot be used, because the window manager/ desktop manager "catches" them: just think Ctrl+F1 ... Ctrl+F12 which switches to virtual desktop 1 ... 12, or Ctrl+Tabulator which switches to the next virtual desktop, and so on. But I think this is not a reason against, but *for* making the Alt key available for keyboard shortcuts configuration via the GUI: that way the user has more choices to *avoid* a shortcut is being "catched" by the desktop manager. Currently one is limited to shortcuts without the Alt key. On the other hand, since there are some pre-defined keyboard shortcuts in OOo which use the Alt key (think Ctrl+Alt+Cursor up, or the newly introduced Ctrl+Alt+N), one has to be able to define an other shortcut for these actions (e.g. in case the default is already in use for the desktop manager). Currently one cannot configure these shortcuts at all. Thus, I cannot see why OOo should preclude its users from defining/ undefining/ redefining keyboard shortcuts with the Alt key any longer. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
