Description:
Currently, keyboard shortcuts in LibreOffice depend on the active keyboard layout.
For example, on a German keyboard, the shortcut for Bold text is Ctrl + Shift + F instead of the more universally recognized Ctrl + B (used in most other applications, including Microsoft Word, Google Docs, etc.).

This inconsistency makes it difficult for users who switch languages or share instructions across international teams.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open LibreOffice Writer.

Set system keyboard layout to German (QWERTZ).

Try to use Ctrl + B to make text bold.

Actual Results:
The shortcut Ctrl + B does not apply bold formatting. Instead, Ctrl + Shift + F must be used

Expected Results:
Ctrl + B should apply bold formatting regardless of the active keyboard layout.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
This behavior is inconsistent with most major text editors and office suites (e.g., Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Notepad++, etc.), which maintain universal shortcuts independent of keyboard layout.
The issue especially affects multilingual users or those who switch frequently between layouts (e.g., German ↔ English).
It would greatly improve usability and accessibility if LibreOffice allowed users to keep standard shortcuts (Ctrl + B, Ctrl + I, Ctrl + U) regardless of keyboard language, or provided a toggle option in Preferences.
