Created attachment 117198 [details] Screenshot of current keyboard customization dialog, courtesy of http://user-prompt.com/how-to-make-libreoffice-customization-usable/ The "Keyboard" configuration tab in the "Customize" dialog window, in the current version of LibreOffice, contains the "Shortcut keys" list, and the three-partite "Functions" group. When assigning key binding to a function I have always scrolled through the shortcut keys list to find free binding, then selected function, and pressed "Modify" button. It turns out that you can press the key combination you want to assign when the focus is on the "Shortcut keys" list, and that would automatically go to the combination you pressed. There is no information anywhere that you can press a key combination to go to it, to appropriate line in "Shortcut keys" - this information should be in a label, or at least in a hint. I propose adding a small text (a label) above the "Shortcut keys" list with for example the following information: "Press key combination you want to change", or something like that. Perhaps it should be grayed-out in 'inactive' style if the mentioned list is not selected (doesn't have focus). This small issue was discovered in bug 92686 comments.
Thanks Jakub! Possibly an easy hack?

This issue is still present in LibreOffice 5.2.4.2 (just checked). There is still no information, neither as a sentence in toolbar tip (mouseover help) for "Shortcut Keys" list in "Keyboard" tab in "Customize" window (Tools > Customize), nor as a label / help in the tab itself. There is no way of discovering that you can press key combination when "Shortcut Keys" list has focus to go to given key (e.g. Ctrl-Shift-B to go to its binding).

Before adding tooltips to a dialog with a "weird" workflow I would revamp it as done for the other tabs. Bug 115527 is the respecitive ticket. Keep in mind that all strings go through a time-consuming translation process. But keeping this ticket alive, maybe Kompi or someone else wants to add the tooltip. Don't see a dev working on the tab soon.
