Description Bram 2011-04-25 11:40:56 UTC
When using the US-international keyboard layout with dead keys, Ctrl+Alt+C gives © instead of inserting a comment. Another keyboard shortcut (one that is not used already) is preferred.
Comment 1 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2011-07-22 07:07:54 UTC
BTW: in CALC we do not have a shortcut at all?

@Bram:
Any suggestions?

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

Comment 3 Björn Michaelsen 2011-12-23 17:01:03 UTC
needinfo keyword redundant by needinfo status.
Comment 4 sasha.libreoffice 2012-02-27 07:17:05 UTC
@ Bram
Please, explain what problem is. Impossible change shortcut? Or something else?
Comment 5 Bram 2012-02-27 09:08:28 UTC
I have no idea if shortcuts can be changed or not. Just opting for a
default shortcut that is not already reserved for the © character on the
most used keyboard layout in the entire world.

Please, provide vendor name and model of keyboard. And which Windows used?
Comment 7 Bram 2012-02-28 02:00:27 UTC
Logitech Illuminated if you're interested.

But please, this is an issue with the US International layout. No matter
what type of keyboard you have on your desk, if you choose this keyboard
layout in Windows this glitch will appear.

Comment 8 sasha.libreoffice 2012-02-28 03:51:45 UTC
Thanks for additional information. In US International layout character © reproducible. I never used "US International" for English, always "US" layout. Why "US International" is better?
Comment 9 Bram 2012-02-28 06:52:38 UTC
It's not better, it's just different. Most Qwerty keyboards in Europe have
the US International layout. The dead keys and additional characters are
used in a lot of languages here, so using the regular US layout is a pain
in the ass that one time you need special characters (there are way too
manu alt codes to remember...)

For the difference between the two layouts, see wikipedia:

Comment 12 Urmas 2014-08-21 11:53:06 UTC
Ctrl-Alt is a legacy keyboard shortcut for the keyboards with only one Alt key.
Do not use keyboards with AltGr register, or reassign the shortcut.
