here https://documentation.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/Documentation/en/GS5.1/HTML/GS5114-CustomizingLibreOffice.html the corresponding section has the heading “Assigning shortcut keys”. I suggest that the button in the “Keyboard” tab for assignment be labeled “Assign” as well. IMHO, the current “Modify” label is ambiguous and misleading. The label “Modify” and the tooltip for it correctly describe the menu. But I think that "Modify" is unnecessarily too unspecific here. I initially incorrectly assumed that “Modify” ONLY refers to the top section “Shortcut keys” in the menu and has nothing to do with the “Functions” section. More understandable and not less correct compared to the current “Modify” label would be simply "Assign" to indicate that a hotkey is linked to a function. = Menu Tools - Customize - Keyboard = Actual Results: “Modify” label Expected Results: “Assign” label Version: 7.3.7.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 30(Build:2) CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.19; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE Ubuntu package version: 1:7.3.7-0ubuntu0.22.04.2 Calc: threaded
Kind of bikeshedding but in fact you can assign more than one shortcut to a command. So Assign is probably better suited than Modify.

And you always modify the shortcut for action even you have no shortcut for the action now =) I wouldn't touch it, "modify" is correct label here

The key 'Assignment'. And isn't 'Delete' also a modification? The action is duplex -- 'Modify' if a command is already assigned to the shortcut, 'Assign' if no command is assigned. Both dependent on the pick made below in the UI. So in reality we are always making and assignment. So what single label best guides the work flow of changing an assignment or of making a new assignment? 'Assignment' in technical English would be my choice--can't speak to other locales.
We discussed the topic in the design meeting and think Assign suits better here. Code pointer: cui/uiconfig/ui/accelconfigpage.ui
