When looking at the cusomize:keyboard tab (access from Tools menu),

Under the Windows XP machine I am currently using, with OOo 2.4.1, the
keys listed are:
F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F5, F7, F8, F9, F10, F11, F12, Down, Up, Left,
Right, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, Enter, Esc, Backspace, Insert,
Delete.
These are followed by “Shit-” and the same keys, then by “Ctrl-”
followed by various keys.
I don’t see “Prior” or “Next” anywhere.
That's the first screen I see to; however, when I set Category=Navigate,
I see the Next and Prior keys. After a little more trial and error
exploring, I found that Next and Prior correspond to the PageDown
and PageUp keys. However, there should be a link from each of
these key names to their location of a keyboard; otherwise,
questions like mine arise on this list :(
Also, I guess if I want to change a certain key name to a different
function, I have to find it with an existing function, and then
change it there, because when the Keys screen is uneditable.
Is that right?
The Keys screen is editable if you mouse-press “Modify” and then use the
panels below to associate that key with a function. But that is really
the only editing you can do.
So, the key combination has to be somewhere in the 'Shortcut Keys'
screen in order to set or change it's meaning. I notice that
some keys in the 'Shortcut Keys' screen are blank, and I guess
if I don't want to change any existing keys, I choose one
of those. For example, with Category=Havgate, I see
Ctrl+Shift+Prior is blank; therefore, I can set this
to any existing key functions. OTOH, if I prefer Ctrl+Shift+Home,
for the function I want (e.g. 'Goto next input field' then
I'd have to do without the short cut to the existing
function associated with Ctrl+Shift+Home, i.e. 'Select to
Document Begin'.
