Description Telesto 2021-01-15 10:47:12 UTC 
Description:
F2 for inserting textbox (shape) kind odd choice

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Writer (Draw/Calc/Impress) & Press F2


Actual Results:
It will activate the textbox insertion

Expected Results:
Well I associate F2 with rename (in explorer). I would press F2 in navigator to rename labels of images, frames.. 

Not inserting textbox.. And I would assume F2 being used for renaming on Linux too?


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

F2 is bound to Formula, at least in Writer. F2 is known for rename, what is your proposal for a) F2 and b) the text box (or frame)?

Argh.. I assumed the F2 was global thing.. As Impress/Draw use F2 to inserts a textbox (drawing object)

But anyhow; F2 is assigned in my perception to 'rename'. Not sure if this can context sensible. So F2 can do both or even more.. Another question is obviously if user understands that.. Kind of hard to remember everything..

So TextBox frame was more seen in line with Draw/Impress. Prefer global shortcut for things which 'are shared'. Not a for every component solution.

OTOH. Textbox (draw object) being well not 'it' in Writer (would opt for Textbox frame). 

No clue how to un-entangle all of this. I'm surely touching multiple area's right now.. 

So please some advice how to direct this? How many bug reports are needed? And for which topics? [Tend to close this one as being 'unspecific' after all]
