Description Thomas Lendo 2017-05-22 22:25:34 UTC
- Open a LibreOffice document.
- Go to menu Tools > Customize.
- Click on "Add commands" (in all tabs but Keyboard and Events available).
- Click into the commands list or the category list.
- Type a character on the keyboard.

Actual result:
Nothing happens when using the keyboard.

Expected result:
As many users are familiar with jumping to a list entry by typing a keyboard character (e.g. in file managers), the same behavior would enhance the usability of the 2 mentioned lists: category and commands. Often it's awkward to scroll to the range of possible entries where the searched term is included. Typing G to jump to the first commands entry beginning with G would fasten the process.

Yes this is one of the enhancements which will be implemented in the redesign of the customization dialog (bug 88896), if the command list is a listbox and not a tree view.
