Description: After a recent (not sure exactly which one) LibreOffice update I noticed that the Insert Time shortcut (CTRL+SHIFT+;) is no longer working. I have (until this bug) been using this shortcut a lot when logging events at Ham Radio Public Servce events. Steps to Reproduce: 1.I am using release 25.2.3.2 on Linux Mint Debian Edition 2.Create a spreadsheet 3.The CTRL+SHIFT+; shortcut does not insert time into a cell; i.e., nothing happens. Actual Results: Nothing happens; time is not inserted into the cell. Expected Results: Time in the desired format (e.g., 14:33:35) Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: [Information automatically included from LibreOffice] Locale: en-US Module: SpreadsheetDocument [Information guessed from browser] OS: Linux Mint Debian Edition (version 7) OS is 64bit: yes
I would suggest to use Calc menu Tools > Customize > Keyboard (tab). In the middle of the dialog, there is a "Functions" field; type in "current time" (without quotation marks). On the lower area of the dialog you should see the "Insert Current Time" function. Click on it. On the right side there is the "Keys" list. If the "Keys" list is empty, then press the desired combination of keys in order to make that combination perform the desired function. Press OK to save the new customization. I wished there was an actual solution to the many reports about this kind of issues, but unfortunately LO incorrectly deals with these, and has been the case for many years. This is why I simply suggest to "solve" the issue by using the Customize dialog.
Hi ady, Thanks for the tip. Using the customize window as suggested I was able to "assign" the "insert time" function to " CRTL+SHIFT+: ". It now works! THANKS !!!! Robert Hickman - N2FKW
