Description: The key combination Alt+E always summons the Extension Manager and cannot be reassigned. For anyone who uses a Macintosh keyboard layout, this makes acute accents nearly impossible. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type Alt+E; Extension Manager appears. 2. Go to Tools>Customize>Function; Extension Manager is not in the list. 3. Despair. Actual Results: Extension Manager does not appear in the list of functions in the Customize dialog box; thus it cannot be removed from the Alt+E key combination. Expected Results: I should be able to remove Extension Manager and assign Alt+E to another function. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Because I use a Macintosh keyboard layout in Windows, this means I can’t type acute accents in LibreOffice Writer, which is disabling, since I frequently have to quote multiple languages. It seems this feature, which I’m calling a bug, was deliberately added to fix the complaint that the Extension Manager could not be summoned with a key combination (Bug 58845). However, it breaks acute accents for me and anyone else who uses the same keyboard layout. The only workaround is to use Insert>Special Character, or to use a different keyboard layout and break my thirty years of ingrained habit.
Confirmed, it still needs an UNO command to be added to the Customize dialog list of functions as pointed out in bug 58845 -- which remains open for this issue. But I won't set this a dupe. Otherwise fro OP, the Special Character dialog's split button on the Standard toolbar holds 'Faorites' and 'Recents' allowing keyboard or mouse entry without opening the dialog. While the <Atl>+X conversion of Unicode entries gives you direct control of the glyph from keyboard. Not as convenient as keyboard specific deadkeys, or the Apple PressAndHold.app on macOS, but functional. None the less the UNO command allowing reassignment is needed.
