Description Johannes Wülk 2021-01-20 04:10:16 UTC 
Description:
After being asked whether changes to document shall be saved before closing, there are 3 options. The key binding for the "Don't Save" option always used to be Alt+d, as in most other programs. Since the newer LO version it has been changed to Alt+n.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open new document
2. Ctrl+s
3. Alt+d for 'Don't Save' (doesn't work anymore)

Actual Results:
Doesn't choose the 'Don't Save' option.

Expected Results:
Alt+D chooses "Don't save" option


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Comment 2 BogdanB 2021-01-20 17:25:24 UTC 
It is working with Alt+N, from "No".
Comment 3 Johannes Wülk 2021-01-22 09:20:24 UTC 
@BogdanB: I know that. But why was it changed from Alt+D to Alt+N in the first place? Most programs use Alt+D as the hotkey for "Don't save".
Comment 4 BogdanB 2021-01-29 20:05:36 UTC 
In a screenshot here (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/disable-save-this-file-window-when-using-save/4c0bb7d0-982a-4b63-bdbd-a5af50d60254) you can see that Ctrl+N is used also by Microsoft. This way is easier for users to remeber just one shortcut.
Comment 5 Johannes Wülk 2021-02-01 00:14:13 UTC 
I couldn't care less what Microsoft does or wants. 
Almost all graphical programs (Kate, Gimp, etc.) on my Linux machine use Alt+D (for Discard, Don't save).
Also Mac OS uses Cmd + D.
It really puzzles me why Libre Office changed this.
Comment 6 Buovjaga 2021-12-03 14:39:29 UTC 
I can't find quickly why it was changed, but now the new behaviour has been in place for so long that it does not really make sense to flip it back.
Comment 7 Aron Budea 2021-12-03 14:54:23 UTC 
This was changed intentionally for bug 127525, with a similar reasoning (N is used for No/Don't in many programs). I guess there's no way to please everyone.
