First of all, sorry for my bad english...

No problem. Your English is very clear.

Hi, I’m an brazilian user and enthusiast of OpenOffice, I’ve started in
BrOffice for windows some years ago, and now I’m using Ubuntu’s normal
OpenOffice, a suite that I guess is superior than MsOffice. I’ve contributed
with some words to VerO (portuguese dictionary).

Even so, the MsOffice has two keyboard’s shortcuts that I really miss in
OpenOffice:

First, the “shift-f3” that change the entire selected text to capital
letters, lower case letter or just first letter in capital.

From the menu: Format > Change Case > Uppercase or Lowercase

You can add your own keyboard shortcuts by opening Tools > Customise. Select the "Keyboard" tab at the top. Select whether you want to set shortcuts for all of OpenOffice.org or only the current application (e.g. Writer). Select an unused shortcut in the top list, and from the lower lists select "Format" category and "Uppercase" or "Lowercase" fucntion. Click the "Modify" button to set the selected function / key combination.

It does not appear possible to assign a single shortcut to toggle between uppercase and lowercase, but it looks like that and an option for first letter capital ("Title Case") might be included in OpenOffice.org 3.3:

And second, the “ctrl-shift-k” that converts the selected text in
“versalete”.

Try Format > Character > Font Effects and from the "Effects" list choose "Small capitals".

Unfortunately I cannot see that in the list of functions to customise keyboard shortcuts.


When OpenOffice incorporates this shortuts (or other shortcuts with these
functions), then, it will be perfect. Please do it soon, ok?

Most people on this list are just users helping each other, and are unable to make these changes. You can submit feature requests (and bug reports) at:
  http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/pre_submission.html
You'll need to create an account to log in, but it is free and does not take long to do. Use the search to check if someone else has already made the same request before submitting a new one.

Thank You very much!

*PS. When I've said "versalete" I mean "small caps"... *

Hope that helps.
Mark.
