Description: I would like to use command+backslash for a keyboard shortcut but it doesn't appear to be listed. I noticed that if I type a shortcut, it gets selected, but nothing happens if I press command+\. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Tools->Customization... and click Keyboard. 2. Press command+\. Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: I hoped to be able to select that keyboard shortcut and assign a command to it.

Currently only the following keys or commands are considered: https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/include/vcl/keycodes.hxx?r=d156e891 https://api.libreoffice.org/docs/idl/ref/namespacecom_1_1sun_1_1star_1_1awt_1_1Key.html It is a valid request to extend this set.
+1, each of the non-shifted keyboard ASCII characters ought to be available to assign as LO Shortcuts. As an aside--we make little use of the shifted keysym keyboard characters for shortcuts. I think only "}" KEY_RIGHTCURLYBRACKET. So should we expand the available shortcut KEYs more than just "\", including the defined "<" KEY_LESS, ">" KEY_GREATER and the undefined "{" left curly brace and "\" back slash.
Not macOS Only, as noted in comment 1 the hardcoded list of keysyms available in vcl affects all platforms. Just the modifiers/key names differ by platform.

for UX-advise, worthwhile to expand the keysyms available for shortcut cross-platform/locale? [1] Otherwise a few obvious omissions like the backslash here should be added. Guess we will also need to be mindful of the way the working keyboard locale affects "standard" keyboard layouts. =-ref-= [1] https://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/List_of_keysyms
