Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-11-12 04:01:09 UTC
It would be useful to have a shortcut key to activate track changes. MS Word and WPS Writer use Ctrl + Shift + E and i see we recently set that to the Edit > Edit Mode entry.

For me this sounds good.
Comment 2 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-11-13 23:05:56 UTC
Yes it was decided in the design meeting on wednesday to change this to the Ctrl + Shift + E and replace Edit Mode with a new shortcut, so i changed it to Ctrl + Shift + M.

Patch is in - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/12415/

@Kevin: The new shortcuts were added to the release notes and if you feel that it should be added to the help page, please do so, as i dont have a help account. :D
Comment 7 Mike §chinagl 2014-12-20 22:03:00 UTC
This bug fix comes with LibreOffice 4.4 (release notes https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.4) 


The keyboard shortcut Ctrl+⇧ Shift+E has been associated with the recording of track changes.
