            Bug ID: 74591
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: UI: Rename shortcut keys 'Prior' and 'Next' to 'PgUp'
                    and 'PgDn'
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: dg1...@hushmail.com
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: 4.1.4.2 release
         Component: UI
           Product: LibreOffice

In Tools > Customize... > Keyboard tab, the key names Prior and Next are used.  

Those are the X keysym names.  I looked at [1] and found that (a) many of the
photographed keyboards, even some from non-English-speaking areas, used some
variation of PgUp or PgDn instead of Prior and Next, and (b) none of the
photographed keyboards seemed to use Prior and Next.  

Knowing that LO is derived from code written by the former Sun Microsystems,
which sold keyboards with a proprietary layout, I even looked at a photo of a
Sun keyboard on eBay and found that those keys are of the PageUp/PageDown
variety.  

Can the strings "Prior" and "Next" be changed to "PgUp" and "PgDn" so that most
users can more easily understand those entries in the Customize dialog?
