Description Dennis Roczek 2015-06-27 12:53:29 UTC 
Apple uses systemwide command + ? for opening the help. We should od that to and not using F1 as on other operating systems.
Comment 1 Alex Thurgood 2015-06-28 08:42:09 UTC 
Agreed
Comment 2 j_mach_wust 2015-06-29 19:44:16 UTC 
Disagree. What Cmd-? does in Mac applications is not opening the help. Instead, Cmd-? opens the help menu and puts the focus to its search field. From that search field, all menu entries can be searched. This works perfectly fine in the current LibreOffice 4.4.3.2 – no need for any fixes.
Comment 3 Dennis Roczek 2015-07-25 16:21:49 UTC 
cmd-? opens the help. Go to the addressbook or in textedit and hit Cmd-?
The help opens for that application. Even Opera Software's Opera12 opens a web page explaining how to use the browser.

In LibO4.4.3.2 nothing happens when hitting Cmd-?

Or did I misunderstood you @j_mach_wust ?

Please add keyword 'needsUXEval' and CC 'libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org' if input from UX is needed.
Comment 7 Heiko Tietze 2023-10-16 14:30:44 UTC 
Dennis is right, the menu of standard apps lists this key combination as shortcut and command + ? (even on the German keyboard cmd+shift+ß) opens the help / user guide.

So yes, we should change the default on macOS.

Not sure about the easyhackability, removing the keyword.
