Description questions2000 2025-10-24 23:12:50 UTC
Description:
In `Customize - Keyboard (tab)` window the `Return` key does not show any actions linked to it.  However, the 'Return' key is obviously linked to the action of advancing to next line/row.
As far as I know there is no such action to link to this.
Suggesting to create an action like this and then show it assigned to the 'Return` key in all LibreOffice based applications.

Actual Results:
The 'Return' key is left blank / no action assigned

Expected Results:
Should show action assigned so user knows that it is being used (even if this is obviously a very common action)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
While on the subject, I am not going to make a specific post about this but I noticed that this key is labeled 'Return` in the shortcuts section.
I have heard that naming being used before but wonder if 'Enter' naming is more common?  If others agree/no conflicts, maybe would consider changing its label to `Enter` instead.

Unable to reproduce this bug. 

I checked this on Windows, where the key is labeled "Enter". In my version, the Customize > Keyboard menu correctly shows the "Enter" key assigned to "Insert Paragraph" function. This is the expected behavior.

questions2000: which app are you testing this with? In Writer on Linux, I get Return with Insert Paragraph, but in Calc the action is empty.
