Underline Synonyms

CTRL+D triggers the underline-function, as does CTRL+U. The difference between them is:

    1. When hovering over the underline-button, the yellow pop-up tells me the proper shortcut: CTRL+U. It doesn't mention CTRL+D.
    2. According to my (limited) understanding of the English language, CTRL+U makes sense. It means Control + Underline. I can't think of any synonym of "underline" that starts with a D. (See attached screenshot of some English synonyms.)
I have set parts of my system to the German language. However, just as in English, i can't see any linguistic reason for CTRL+D.

Solution: I suggest either getting rid of the CTRL+D-command, or indicating it's viability, just as it's done with CTRL+U when hovering over the underline-button.

If you open Tools->Customize, and select Keyboard tab, you may scroll down to see current assignments of both Ctrl+D and Ctrl+U. The latter is "Underline", while the former is "Double Underline".
