- Open a LibreOffice document. - Go to menu Tools > Customize. - Click on "Add commands" (in all tabs but Keyboard and Events available). - Click into the commands list or the category list. - Type a character on the keyboard. Actual result: Nothing happens when using the keyboard. Expected result: As many users are familiar with jumping to a list entry by typing a keyboard character (e.g. in file managers), the same behavior would enhance the usability of the 2 mentioned lists: category and commands. Often it's awkward to scroll to the range of possible entries where the searched term is included. Typing G to jump to the first commands entry beginning with G would fasten the process.
Yes this is one of the enhancements which will be implemented in the redesign of the customization dialog (bug 88896), if the command list is a listbox and not a tree view.
