Description:
The tool button for inserting the current date in the current cell is -according to the mouse hover tip- supposed to have a keyboard shortcut [Ctrl+;].
On a Scandinavian keyboard, the semicolon is a [shift] character so the key combination [Ctrl + Shft + ;] appears to be corrupting the shortcut and preventing it from inserting a date. For the record, the unshifted character is a comma.

I left the Severity as "normal" but it's probably "trivial" and the workaround is to use the menu button

It works fine in excel on the same Windows PC.

WRITER has a date picker with double click entry but no shortcut



Steps to Reproduce:
Select any cell and with a Scandinavian keyboard
Ctrl + Shft + ;


Actual Results:
Nothing

Expected Results:
Current date insertion


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

I think the same issue as in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126888, death keys doesn't work for shortcuts.

You can solve it reassigning a short without death keys in it.

Please if you are not agree reopen it.

I don't disagree so it will remain RESOLVED and I'll change the shortcut key to unshifted characters that are available but - I also don't know what a death key may be :(.

I won't die if I don't know but it will worry me for the rest of my life ;)
