any component of office not saves functions assigned on key To demonstrate this problem, for example, in Writer do Tools->Customize then on tab Keyboard select F2 in upper window and press Delete on right to it and then Ok. Now if press F2 nothing happens. But if close office and start Writer again and press F2, appears formula. Calc also not saves settings. And other components. produced on LibreOffice 3.3.1.2 on Mandirva 64 bit and windows XP 32 bit
Generally that function works with "LibreOffice 3.3.1 – WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) English UI [OOO330m19 (build 8 / tag 3.3.1.2)]", but indeed, some will not be saved. Something that will be saved correction: 1. Open new WRITER document 2. press <f4> some times, nothing should happen 3. Menu 'Tools > Customize > Keyboard - F4': In functions select "Styles - Numbering - Numbering 1" 4. Radio button "Writer" 5. <Modify> "Nmbering 1" will be added in shortcut keys list 6. <ok> Dialog closes 7. <f4> modifies paragraph style to "Numering" as expected 8. Create new docuemnt and test <f4> modifies paragraph style to "Numering" as expected 9. Exit from LibO without saving 10. Launch LibO and redo from step 8. I did again analogously from step 1, tested <f2> (on / off for formula bar) and deleted this function from shortcuts list. As reported: no longer available (after step 6) As reported: default <f2> function reappears after exit / relaunch LibO It seems that this shortcut key is "harcoded", oyu see that in Menu 'tools > Customize > Keyboard - Functions Cat.=Insert / Function=Formula' (take second "Formula") in the "Keys" field a "F2" appears that can not be deleted Also <cntrl>+<shift>+<j> ("Full screen") shows the same "hard coded" behavior as <f2>, and I belive all other ones where a key is shown in the key pane will show it, soon. But: ---- key <Save> after <Modify> will make permanent a modification of <cntrl>+<shift>+<j>, but not of <f2> I believe it's intended that such very important functions can not be modified permanently. I agree that the current behavior can be worrying. Such shortcuts should be marked by special color, Italic or something else in the shortcut keys list. Additionally this should be described in help. A good, but also not complete description you can find here: <http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Getting_Started/Assigning_shortcut_keys> I wonder where <save> saves the configuration, and I would like to know where I can find those configuration files. @kendy: I still am worried, and I believe Help should be completed.

LibreOffice saves information about key bindings in this place: /.libreoffice/3/user/registrymodifications.xcu it is differs from OpenOffice. LibreOffice holds almost all settings in this file and OpenOffice holds settings in some different files. When I, for example, delete assignment from key Insert and press OK, in this file appears this line (I use Mozilla as viever): <node oor:name="INSERT" oor:op="remove"/> When I close LibreWriter, this line there still exist When I start LibreOffice next time, this file contain this: <node oor:name="INSERT" oor:op="replace"> <prop oor:name="Command" oor:op="fuse"> <value xml:lang="en-US">.uno:InsertMode</value> </prop> </node> Conclusion: keyboard settings disappear while starting of LibreOffice
