Bug ID: 123159
Summary: Accessibility: No keyboard shortcut to open a
HYPERLINK in Calc cells
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.1.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: oliver.k...@sap.com
Description:
I have a cell, which calculates a hyperlink based on a base address which
resides in a named cell. The URL is contatenated with a ticket number which
resides in C* cells. The number contains spaces, thus the spaces are removed
before added to thebase url.
=HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE(baseAddressUrl,SUBSTITUTE(C8," ","")),"link")
The resulting URL works and opens fine in a browser, when clicking with the
mouse.
However, how can the URL get triggered by using a keyboard only?
It seems there is a mouse-action which does not have a counterpart on the
keyboard - which seems to be an accessibility issue.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. add a cell, type in a url, and add a name to the cell, "baseAddressUrl".
2. add a new row and a cell with a number, use cell !C4! for example and type
"123456"
3. on column D add the following macro:
=HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE(baseAddressUrl,SUBSTITUTE(C4," ","")),"link")
4. click on cell !D4!. A browser opens and shows a url
5. try to have the browser opens the url by just using the keyboard....
Actual Results:
nothing, there seems no keyboard access to triggering HYPERLINK elements within
Calc. I read it seems to work in Writer, but I did not check this.
Expected Results:
A keyboard shortcut is given by the LibreOffice team which maps into the
keyboard shortcuts interaction design patterns and lets end users trigger a
link by just using the keyboard.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
As written, a shortcut should open the browser, congruent to the use of the
mouse.
