feature request:  request a keyboard sequences mode in addition to the current keyboard shortcuts / hotkeys mode

All versions of LibreOffice, all hardware.

PROBLEM:  Have run out of suitable keyboard shortcuts to apply for styles and it has slowed my productivity significantly.  Hopefully LibreOffice will be flexible enough to allow extension from "keyboard shortcuts / hotkeys " to "keyboard sequences"


PROPOSAL / ENHANCEMENT / FEATURE REQUEST:

It would be extremely handy to implement keyboard sequences (as opposed to keyboard shortcuts / hotkeys).  For those of you unfamiliar with the game ArmA II / Arma III (aka Armed Assault), the military sandbox has so many controls and options that Ctrl, Alt and Shift modifiers are simply not enough to cover all controls.  To add more controls the games developers have used a keyboard sequence where the user can hold down say "Ctrl + KeyA" to walk or hold down Ctrl, tap and release press key A once, then press and hold keyA to run. So it essentially recognises double taps. In this way the user can customise their keys without issue and the problems of duplicate key bindings can be resolved.


This mechanism is not the same as the keyboard sequencing in Microsoft office. Microsoft Office keyboard sequencing relies on order to select menus without having to hold down any keys whereas the ArmA style sequencing allows double-keypresses.

I don't know if a combat game is the right prototype for keyboard interactions ;-).

Seriously, while I disagree with this idea as overly complex, it was accepted in the design meeting for possible customization. Making your ticket a duplicate although it's older.
