Hello, ctrl+alt+e insert €  (euro) on my computer and it's windows shortcut - this shortcut works also in other programs. So we should change shortcut for extension dialog.

Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: af579ed7d1482df5cfa7e12e8af2603917d40602
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.1; UI render: default;

Adding to UX

Essentially same issue as bug 118269 but going the opposite direction of keyboard mapping of <Ctrl>+<Alt> ~=> <AltGr>

comments on meta bug 107244

In bug 118269 we stated a bug/regression.

So, just for the record, the behaviour changed after https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=f53b3b547b04dc112076d8323b5b24ae178d6260

So we have to treat this as a regression. Manfred, what do you think?

I think this is a case of poorly chosen short-cut. OpenOffice does not bind common windows short-cuts like ctrl+alt+e and ctrl+alt+t as it's standard for them to insert € and ™. On Windows at least, we should follow this standard.

No, that is just incorrect on *all* counts... <Ctrl>+<Alt> was used in OOo and recognized for conflicting with <AtlGr> mappings on systems using Windows with us-international key mappings. Have not looked at an AOO source tree, but do not believe that has been changed.

Also, there is no "standard", just a Microsoft practice of os mapping <Ctrl>+<Alt> to <AltGr> to support keyboards without a second <R-Alt> keysym used for the AltGr toggle.
 
So, this remains dependent on physical keyboard, the os Keyboard mapping selected, and finally on the locale setting in LibreOffice (picked up from os, or as assigned).

With few exceptions, the default shortcuts/accelerators are assigned from:

https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Accelerators.xcu

The paired _MOD1_MOD2, are the <Ctrl>+<Alt> shortcuts

The actual source bypassing the <Ctrl>+<Alt> to allow it os mapping of <AltGr> is about here:

Right - so the only workable solution we found was that locales with conflicts like above would re-map the shortcuts to something else.

Dear Telesto,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
