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
Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: 9712dd74bfb0c9b99cab37bd147fe267b48c6d7d
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2019-02-17_22:47:09
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

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

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
