Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Click Tools-Customise
2. Choose the Insert-Category and scroll-down to formula

Current behavior:
There are to entries "formula"
one edits formula in table cells the other inserts a math formular.

Expected behavior:
They entries should be descriptive, e.g. "math formula" and "table formula". Furthermore, the "table formula" should be placed in the table category for sake of consistency with the menu ordering.

totally agree with you.

I see other duplicates in the Writer customize keyboard panel (I have not checked if they have different actions):

Application/Open
Edit/Backspace
Edit/Fields
Insert/Comment
Format/Center
Format/Justified
Format/Left
Format/Right
Format/Top
Table/Sort
Numbering On/Off

and a triplicate:

Format/Centered

probably other duplicates exist in Calc and Impress customize keyboard panel as well.

the issue is inherited from OOo since those duplicated strings are already present there.

as reported by user a better description for those identical entries (which instead have different functions) is needed...

it's indeed frustrating to identify which is the exact function you wanna map on your keyboard.

I think all the strings of that menu should be reviewed and finally fixed.
this will need some work for the localization teams but I thinks it's worth it.

most of those duplicate entries are still there.

@Adolfo
is this something you can take a look at?

This bug is earlier, but Bug 108458 has a long discussion about how to improve things, so closing this one as a duplicate.
