Re: [qa-dev] Key binding for Edit -> Repeat in Windows in 1.9?

[Kevin]

Under the Windows platform there is no key assigned for repeat (although I 
think OOo recognizes that it's Windows and there is no such key as "repeat", 
so it does not assign a key). I would be willing to advocate for you against 
the closing of this bug report. The majority of users should be able to use 
what works for the majority of users, not the minority.

Hi. I recently filed a bug for the fact that the default key binding (at
least in the Linux version) for Edit -> Repeat is the Redo key, a key
which does not exist on most keyboards:

The issue was closed as invalid by a developer, saying that the key
exists on Sun keyboards and that the setting can be changed by the user.
I think the reasoning is flawed, because the vast majority of keybaords
don't have a Redo key and the default settings should work for the
majority of users, not a very small minority. The majority of users
should not have to go through the extra step of reconfiguring a feature
to make it work.
I filed the bug on the basis of the Linux behavior. I would like to know
if the Windows version of 1.9 also uses the binding Redo for the Edit ->
Repeat function. If so, this would make my case stronger for reopening
the bug.
Thanks to anyone who can check this. I would do this myself, but i don't
have access to a Windows computer on which i can install software for
testing.
I have windows version of OOo and on windows keyboards we do not have Redo
key. Also F12 dose not work like 'redo' function.
