The accelerator shortcut keys for these context menus have been modified more
than once (who knows with which kind of _overall_ reasoning – probably none).
So I am not sure we could call this request a "revert", but rather to have some
kind of logical consistent reasoning. Among other factors, it would be helpful
to have the same accelerator keys in these context menus as other spreadsheet
tools have (Excel, GSheets, AOO...).
Independently of how we got to this point, I would agree that when selecting an
entire column, the context menu that includes "Delete Columns" should have the
"D" key as accelerator for such action.
Probably all "Delete" (cell/column/row/range) deserves the same accelerator
key, but there is probably more items to consider in some of those cases too.
The current "C" indeed requires additional user inputs, and I doubt this was
some overall thought-through evaluation or idea.
FWIW, I tend to use the [CTRL]-[-] keyboard shortcut, instead of using the
context menu for these actions (thus, skipping the context menu in these
cases), but that is not the point here. Clicking on a column header and using
the context menu should be as user friendly as possible anyway.
Beware that we can also bring the column header's context menu while the
selected area does not correspond to it. The key accelerators should be the
same for each available item, independently of the selected area (but in some
case, the available actions could be different).
I have no access to Excel, so someone else would have to review whether this is
the current equivalent accelerator in it too. That would be an additional
"plus".
In AOO, indeed "Delete Columns" is assigned the letter "D" as accelerator
shortcut (as it used to be in LO 3.3).
