Once again, a tooltip gives you details about the differences. The very first one in my list had the tooltip 'InsertAnnotation'.

That's the one I assigned - it worked for me. LibreOffice is a big, complex set of programs. Keyboard shortcuts need to be shared with the OS, ideally match other products and standards, and work across hundreds of different languages. It is guaranteed to be complex and difficult. It sounds like you did pretty good figuring it out. I'd just double-check that your new assignments match your expectation. Otherwise it seems like your OS might have also already taken Ctrl-/. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
