Description Andy Goth 2019-02-22 19:35:41 UTC 
Description:
On a laptop keyboard lacking a dedicated plus (+) key, the Ctrl+Plus keyboard shortcut (insert cells) is unavailable.  In trying to type Ctrl+Plus, I end up typing Ctrl+Shift+Equal, which is not mapped.

Ctrl+Minus (delete cells) works fine, by the way.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type Ctrl+Shift+Equal

Actual Results:
Nothing.

Expected Results:
Insert cells, same as Ctrl+Plus.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

it's works fine with key "+" on numpad. But if your notebook doesn't have numpad on keyboard, then really sign "+" on key "=" doesn't work

Confirmed on Windows 10 Home 64-bit en-US (1809) with Intel HD Graphics 620 with

Using the keyboard Numpad provided "+" key opens the Insert Cells dialog. But using the shifted =/+ does not.

Looks like we define a "KEY_MOD1 | KEY_ADD" mapping, but *not* a "KEY_SHIFT | KEY_MOD1 | KEY_ADD" is that needed to make this shortcut/accelerator functional?

That's likely true. The plus is reachable on German keyboard layout without shift and both numpad and standard pad work. What we have to do is bug 115052. Make this a duplicate?

NO MORE in 

Version: 7.1.0.3 / LibreOffice Community

Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US

test it again please.
I think it is solved. "CTRL + SHIFT + =" is working now, a dialog will pop up asking you to shift cells down or right or entire row or entire column

It's working on my keyboard too with numpad. It is so amazing to find a laptop that would have been out of stock from the local market. I was in the lookout to buy a good laptop. https://mytravelgadget.com/best-17-inch-laptops-under-500/. This site came into my consideration after reading a couple of great reviews by the old customers. I got to be a good commentator for the site's worth.
