Some function keys are reserved by default and cannot be modified or made inactive: F1, F6, F10, Shift+F1, Shift+F6, maybe a few more. I do not know if this choice has an historical reason, but I would really like to get rid of this limitation. F1 is just next to "esc". On a small notebook I often hit F1 instead of "esc" and every time the browser fires up with the help page. It would be really helpful to make F1 inactive. Similarly, F6 and F10 could be used for some formatting or commonly used functions. To have three out of twelve function keys unusable is a bit frustrating. Is there any tweak to remove this limitation? Or will the developers consider the possibility of removing this limitation in one of the forthcoming releases?
No idea where this comes from. Anyone else?
The F1 & <Shift>+F1 are shortcuts used by the Help system--cross platform. F6, F10, <Ctrl>+F6, <Shift>+F6 are all used for navigation shortcuts integral to our a11y support. Accordingly they are all internally "reserved" within VCL [1] and can not be modified with the Customize dialog and XML adjustment. In other words they are hardcoded and will not be changed. =-ref-= [1] http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vcl/source/app/svapp.cxx#100
