Description steve 2020-06-06 11:06:46 UTC
Description:
On macOS it is default behavior to close windows with ⌘W. This is not possible with the About dialog in LibreOffice 7.0b1.

Please add that functionality.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open About dialog and press ⌘W

Actual Results:
Nothing - the about dialog stays open forcing users to close that dialog using the mouse.

Expected Results:
⌘W should close the about dialog as any other dialog in LO can be closed with that keyboard shortcut.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
ESC button does close about dialog, so that is great. Adding ⌘W should make the feeling more native as macOS users are conditioned for that to close a dialog as well.

Interestingly below v7 when pressing ⌘W in the about dialog, the LO website is opened. That behavior feels very wrong so it is an improvement, it did not make it to the new about dialog.

Finder > About works as Steve describes: escape and cmd+W closes. So let's see if we can implement this easily.

See also the discussion on https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/95791 where a ctrl/cmd+C shortcut is requested to copy the version info.

There was a fix by Patrick making keyboard shortcut cmd+w close windows for LibreOffice.

I am not sure which issue that fix was for. But I just tested it, it works and it also applies to the about dialog.

Thanks Patrick, and setting this here to worksforme. Feel free to set it to dupe of the fixed bug.
