Thank you very much for your reply.
In my prior email, I forgot to mention that testing with "Alt+d" generates
the same behavior as with "d" alone; i.e. Writer 5.0.6.3 initially fails to
open.
Based on your comments, I performed the following test:
1_ With all LibreOffice closed, I opened LibreOffice 5.0.6.3 ("soffice.exe").
2_ Press F10. The menu receives focus.
3_ Press F10 again. The sidebar receives focus.
4_ Press "d". Writer is successfully opened.
I repeated the test, replacing F10 with Alt. Same behavior.
I repeated the test, replacing "d" with "Alt+d". Same behavior.
So my conclusion would be that the difference between the 4.4.x (and older)
branch(es) and 5.0.6.3 is that the initial focus has changed. Wherever the
initial focus is located in 5.0.6.3, the shortcut keys shown in the sidebar
are _not_ valid for it. Changing the focus to the sidebar will allow the
shortcuts to be correctly used.
I am not ready to update to 5.1.x yet. I hope the shortcut keys will be
valid immediately after opening LibreOffice (as it used to be in the 4.4.x
and older branches), instead of having to move the focus first. Whether this
means expanding the validity of the shortcut keys to additional areas of the
user interface, or changing the default initial focus to be located on the
sidebar, or some other alternative, I do not know.
Thank you,
Ady.
