Hi :) +1 Lol, i totally agree. I just never thought about it. I did notice someone taking extravagant care in a very precise guide ages ago. Hmm Ctrl+c would be Ctrl and the + key and the c? I got told off for using the + one time. I have even been told off for using the space too but it's too confusing for a higher percentage of people if they saw Ctrlc in a guide. There is an old 'joke' about spending hours looking for the "Any" key. I think Ctrl+c is fine unless you bump into my old, very fussy and ex boss. Regards from Tom :)

Shouldn't it rather be Ctrl c, Ctrl v? Ctrl C should be the same thing as Ctrl Shift c, shouldn't it? Since C is the same as Shift c, I mean (unless you didn't create your own very suspect keyboard layout, of course… like I did, but not THAT suspect… ☺ I would even prefer writing like Ctrl+c, since the ”+” indicates that ”Ctrl” should not be released before the ”c” is hit. That way this syntax for the Compose key makes sense: Compose o c ⇨ © (press the compose key, release it, press o, release it, press c, release it ⇨ a © appears at the cursor's position). Once again, sorry for being off topic here, I just couldn't stop myself… ☺ Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg ジョニー・ローゼンバーグ -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@global.libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
