Bug ID: 160424 Summary: Poor keyboard mnemonic ("access key") for field insertion in French Product: LibreOffice Version: 24.2.1.2 release Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: trivial Priority: medium Component: Writer Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: chea...@gmail.com LibreOffice offers inserting fields via the Insert → Field (..GenericCommands.UserInterface.Popups..uno:FieldMenu) submenu. In French, the labels are Insertion → Champ ( https://translations.documentfoundation.org/translate/libo_ui-24-2/officecfgregistrydataorgopenofficeofficeui/fr/?checksum=dafb349d93f99e6f ), and the first letter of "Champ" ("C") is the mnemonic. While this works (reasonably) well in most applications, that choice is very poor in Writer, where 2 other items of the Insert menu share the same mnemonic ("Section…" and "Cadre"), including a submenu (Frame). This means that for example, to insert a Date with Writer using keyboard shortcuts, one would need to type: Alt + I, C, C, Left arrow, C, D, D, Enter This is time-consuming *and* non-trivial to discover. I suppose that field insertion must also consider Calc, but I think the mnemonic should be changed. Choosing "p" as the mnemonic may be better, although imperfect. As things stand, it would have a much lesser conflict with "Repère de texte" (WriterCommands.UserInterface.Commands..uno:InsertBookmark), which could itself use a different mnemonic. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
