Description: The problem occurs with style names, dropdown menus, and some other widgets. Spinners like font size are a notable exception. Seems to be a universal UI problem: it's been annoying me in Writer, but I briefly confirmed it in Calc, Impress, and Draw. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the side bar and single-click a style name or other element. The element should be highlighted and have a dotted border to show that it is active. 2. Attempt to use keyboard shortcut. Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: Command bound to shortcut is activated. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0
An additional finding. In the case of the styles menu, the letter key component of the shortcut is being used to move the selection, so for example ctrl+C selects "Caption" if the paragraph style tab is open.
Actually the situation with the sidebar seems to be better than the old fashioned toolbars: if you are in the font size of the formatting toolbar, shortcuts do not work.

Upon quick testing, the problem seems to be partially solved as of v6.3.2.2. For each test, I single-clicked a style in the sidebar and then pressed a key combo. Ctrl-C copied text. F1 opened help. Ctrl-M removed formatting. Ctrl-Shift-M removed character styles. Ctrl-0 DID NOT set the paragraph style. Nor did Ctrl-1. But they DID work immediately after *double clicking* to apply a style, and other shortcuts such as Ctrl-2 and Ctrl-3 DID work after either a single or double click. This seemed crazy, so I tried several times, but the effect seems consistent. The properties sidebar seems to be doing better: all style shortcuts worked.

Jim: you've done a lot of work on sidebar and key focus. It seems probable that your work has caused the improvements Kenneth is seeing here. What is your take on this? I have to note that contrary to Kenneth's results, Ctrl-2 and 3 do not have an effect when I am focused on a style in the list.
I was a bit confused about the Style in the sidebar but then realized that Kenneth is referring to the Properties deck Style panel paragraph style combo box and not the Style deck style tree list. I confirm all is working when focus is in the combo box even Ctrl-0 and Ctrl-1 which respectively select and apply Text Body and Heading 1 for me. tdf#125525 changed shortcut keys to work from the sidebar.

Hmm, but based on the description "Open the side bar and single-click a style name or other element. The element should be highlighted and have a dotted border to show that it is active" I understood it to be the "Styles" deck. In comment 6 he says "The properties sidebar seems to be doing better: all style shortcuts worked".
Buovjaga is correct. When I said: > For each test, I single-clicked a style in the sidebar and then pressed a key combo. I did indeed mean the styles deck of the sidebar.
Ok the Ctrl-C, Ctrl-M and Ctrl-Shift-M threw me off. I don't know how they would work when focus is in a tree list box. Here is a patch that allows shortcut keys to work that are able to work from a tree list box context. For Writer common keyboard customization shortcut keys are Ctrl-0 Text Body, Ctrl-1 Heading 1, Ctrl-2 Heading 2, Ctrl-3 Heading 3. The patch allows these to work. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/82049/
