Description irrevdjohn 2023-04-13 12:12:42 UTC
Description:
The keyboard shortcut `option-command-E` appears to be hardcoded to bring up the Extension Manager in LO 7.5 for Mac OS.

But in the Tools > Customize > Keyboard dialog, this shortcut appears to be unused and available for customization. However, my chosen action does not take place, and the Extension Manager pops up instead.

FYI, the shortcut I have tried to create would activate Styles > Emphasis for selected text in Writer. Indeed, the shortcut representation appears in the Styles menu alongside the Emphasis entry, but this behaviour is overridden by Tools > Extension Manager.

(I use similar shortcuts for Strong Emphasis [option-command-S], and for No Character Style [option-command-0], and these DO work as intended.)

I don’t use the Extension Manager, and don’t need a shortcut for it.

Why is this behaviour hardcoded into LO? It happens in all components, not just Writer.



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click the Menu > Tools > Customize to open the dialog.
2. Click the Keyboard tab.
3. In the Shortcut Keys box, scroll down to highlight the key combination command-option-E.
4. In the Category box, highlight Styles > Character.
5. In the Function box, highlight Emphasis.
6. Click the Modify button.
7. Close the Customise dialog.
8. In Writer, select a portion of text to be emphasised, then use the key combination command-option-E.
9. See the Extension Manager appear, unwanted, while the text fails to change style.

Actual Results:
Extension Manager appears

Expected Results:
Should have activated the customised shortcut.


Reproducible: Always

Good question. The E_MOD1_MOD2 accelerator is assigned here https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Accelerators.xcu?r=a135a182#201 but shows as a service: rather than an .uno: control, the only one on the xcu.

But on the customize dialog the shortcut is not reserved, i.e. greyed out on the customize dialog. And the dialog's service does not show in customize as assigned.

Seems like its shorcut should be set reserved like F6, F1 or F10-- or find some way to manipulate the control in customize dialog to be able to reassign.
