Description David W. Snow 2021-08-24 16:51:17 UTC
With v7.2 the new heads-up-display "Search Commands" is assigned to Shift-ESC.

This doesn't work on my 2020 MacBookAir M1 using either the Apple Silicon version or the x86 version. MacOS = 11.4

I assume that macOS has it assigned to something else.  I can get to the function via the help menu and it works. However, since it seems to only show commands that ARE assigned. to Menu items and DOES NOT show any greyed out ones, its usefulness is somewhat limited.

My Mac intel also doesn’t work.

There is key for "Search Commands". Menu -> Tools -> Customize -> Keyboard -> Search_Command (Attachments file).

If I delete key and insert again ...It not work too.

search commands - default empty?
Comment 6 steve 2021-09-02 17:41:16 UTC
Not sure I understand that customize dialog. But when I search Functions for "Search Coommands", the function "Search Commands" is shown while Keys remains empty. So this would indicate no shortcut is set for this function by default. Again, the dialog is not clear to me, so if someone provides steps how to assign a shortcut, could try that.

I made a mistake when inserting the first image - it was just the text.

How I see the expected behavior of this window.
-------------------------------        ------------------------------------ 
Selecting the Libreoffice item.| ---> |I'll change Shortcut Key for all LO |
-------------------------------        ------------------------------------
---------------------------       ---------------------------------------- 
Selecting the Writer item.| ---> |I'll change Shortcut Key just for Writer|
---------------------------       ----------------------------------------

I came to this conclusion when I saw "command+c" Shortcut Key inside both (Libreoffice and Writer).

Good point, I did not realize this and I doubt many users will understand the logic of this dialog, but that is another story I guess.

Going to Tools > Customize > Keyboard and selecting "LibreOffice" I do see the shortcut "Shift + Esc" for "Search Commands".

That shortcut is not set when selecting "Writer" at the top right of the dialog.

So the behavior you are seeing is very much expected I would say. Had you tried adding a shortcut for Writer as that is what you were asking about in this bug?

I just tried to modify* this shortcut with same "Shift-ESC" (deleting after inserting again) and I not sure if It's a new bug or part of it. I'm a beginner here.

*"If I delete key and insert again ...It not work too." I wrote this earlier - comment 3.

Thanks for clarifying my comment.

I'm not sure what is the issue here.
Is the request to use a different shortcut sequence for MacOS? Or to simply disable it on MacOS?
