Description Ming Hua 2019-11-13 01:37:25 UTC
In Writer's Tool -> Customize... dialog, Keyboard tab (making sure "Writer" is selected instead of "LibreOffice"), the "Shortcut keys" box shows all the available keyboard shortcuts.

Corresponding Shift+Backspace (one can press Shift+Backspace combination when the focus is in the "Shortcut keys" box, or just simply scroll down to its place) entry, the place where an LO function is supposed to be, shows an useless "Shift+Backspace".

While Shift+Backspace is special in other modules (e.g., it undos selection in Calc), it doesn't seem to do anything special in Writer, and just works like Backspace.  If indeed Shift+Backspace is not used in Writer, this entry should be cleared and left empty.

My "About LO" information:
Version: 6.2.8.2 (x64)

Also reproducible in 6.3.3.

I looked into this and ShiftBackspace is actually a real Writer command that makes Shift+Backspace work like Backspace:

https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/search?project=core&full=+FN_SHIFT_BACKSPACE&defs=&refs=&path=&hist=&type=&xrd=&nn=1

In Word Shift+Backspace does the same as Backspace.

Disabling the keybinding would make Shift+Backspace not do anything.

I think this can be viewed as a feature for those people who got used to it in Word, see: https://xkcd.com/1172/
