In most Gnome applications, Undo actions are performed with the CTRL+Z
keyboard shortcut and Redo actions can be performed with CTRL+SHIFT+Z.
In LibreOffice, Undo is CTRL+Z but Redo is CTRL+Y. This is an
inconsistency in the user experience and can lead to some frustration
among users who used Gnome based desktops and are used to the keyboard
shortcuts used there.

Enhancement request.

It is also interesting to know if any emacs users feel uncomfortable
with C-Y to redo? :)

Well, do we want different shortcuts for each and every desktop?

Hi Chris,

Does the customize short-cut key(Tool->customize->keyboard) help to
resolve the problem? The C-S-z seems not natively occupied by other
functions in LibO.

Hi Yifan,

I hadn't realised LibreOffice and OpenOffice weren't native Gnome
applications as I don't use word processors (LaTeX for me). I'm doing
work downstream in Ubuntu and someone reported this bug to us and I
reported it here so it could be fully triaged.

I'll suggest that we modify the shortcut key ourselves when we ship the
package.

Hi all,

Well, Ctrl+Shift+Z is also the standard KDE shortcut for redo, so I
don't think it's quite necessary to have a different shortcut for every
desktop. Since Ctrl+Shift+Z doesn't have any other assignment in
LibreOffice, isn't it reasonable to add that as a shortcut for redo?

The other point about platform-specific modifications is another way to
go about this kind of thing, but it does have one drawback: LibreOffice
won't behave the same way across platforms. If I ever use applications
like firefox or libreoffice on Windows, I expect them to behave in the
way that I'm used to on linux, and I expect most people do too (within
reason).

I belive there's probably more *nix-only users, than users that constantly 
switch between platforms.
Since you mentioned firefox, it too uses Ctrl+Shift+Z for redo on *nix.

I don't expect LO to behave the same on OSX either, since the standard
there is Cmd+Shift+Z (and there isn't even ctrl to do Ctrl+Y).

Since Ctrl+Shift+Z is not occupied by default, LO could just ship both
hotkeys (Ctrl+Shift+Z AND Ctrl+Y). That would satisfy constantly-OS-
switching users as well.

I don't know it's possible to link 2 shortcut keys to one action.

I asked on the UX-advice (user experience advice) mailinglist for
advice/input (see http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-ux-
advise/2013-May/002033.html)

Kind regards,

Title:
  [Upstream] Redo and Undo should follow gnome scheme

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Triaged
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  For most Ubuntu apps which are Gnome-based projects the "Undo" and
  "Redo" shortcuts are Ctrl+z and Ctrl+Shift+z respectively.

  OpenOffice does not follow this schema. It uses Ctrl+y instead of
  Ctrl+Shift+z instead. It would be nice if, in Ubuntu at least, it was
  all consistent.
