Description: Binding Alt+Left and Alt+Right to "To Word Left" and "To Word Right" does not work and hitting those keys just moves the cursor by one character instead of an entire word. It's as if the Alt modifier is ignored and pressing Alt+Left is handled as if just Left were pressed. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Tools - Customize - Keyboard 2. Select "Alt+Left" under Shortcut Keys 3. Under Functions, select "To Word Left" 4. Click modify, click OK 5. Type some words into the document 6. Hit Alt+Left Actual Results: Cursor moves left by one character Expected Results: Cursor moves by one word Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info:
Confirmed, also on Windows builds Version: 6.3.4.2 (x64) Build ID: 60da17e045e08f1793c57c00ba83cdfce946d0aa CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: en-US (en_US); UI-Language: en-US Calc: CL While the default Writer keyboard shortcus <Ctrl>+<left> and <Ctrl>+<right> assignments to 'To Word Left' and 'To Word Right' function as expected. Though duplicating existing shortcuts, user assignment of these edit cursor movements to <Alt> based shortcuts should otherwise work.
