Hello @ll, I am used to use the mnemonics in LO as often as possible, but with the new 5.1.0.0beta1 I discovered, that it is not possible to use <Alt>+<x> any longer, if you are using the Germanophone UI on Debian Testing AMD64 ... :( Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Germanophone lang- as well as helppack. 1. Start any module (Writer, Draw, Calc) 3. Press <Alt>+<x> to open the Extras (Tools) menu. In Writer, there is just an "U+0074", if you open an existing document, otherwise it will be happen nothing ... :( OS: Debian Testing AMD64 LO: Version: 5.1.0.0.beta1-buildfix1 Build-ID: 13010a13177025f633c9b85adcb3edf6920e44e3 Threads 4; Ver: 4.2; Render: default; Have a nice evening Thomas.
These accelerator & shortcuts like this work correctly in en-US. The issue of the "U+0074" seems like a launch of the new "Unicode toggle" feature. And that you were in the text canvas of the Writer document adjacent to a "t", a second <alt>+"x" should revert from the "U+0074" value. But for the German local and de language, it should be honoring the use of <Alt>+C. Please check these functions on your system: Use the <Alt> key to toggle the underlines on or off (Linux & OS X) and review what the assigned shortcut is for the menu. Also, check behavior of <Atl>+C and <Alt>+X as Unicode toggle--<Alt>+X as toggle seems to be incorrect. @Samuel, did your patch of bug 73691 for German local go awry? =-ref-= bug 73691 --add unicode conversion shortcut like word (alt+x) http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=ff3c4f4c704977b2eec1dba1238b422537e413f3 with adjustment for German local replace <alt>+X with <alt>+C to allow E_xtras http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=ddf7618fb56c927f862de7b85f213da352cf2b26 =-=-= Somewhat related there are issues with the StartCenter, where the UI is controlled with specific accelerators (see bug 92866 ). http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=74407aef94b6d8dfdd69891c4a6e578587ef3e71
H Thomas, Is it 5.1 or 4.2 ? Alt-X is set - initially - to show Unicode. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.1#Unicode_character_input_with_Alt.2BX From what I remember, for DE that should (in the mean time?) be changed to Alt+C ? Ciao - Cor
Hello V. Stuart, Cor, *, sorry for the delay, but I was not able to answer earlier ... :( To V. Stuart: I have tested all other mnemonics / accelerator keys and they work as expected – expect the <Alt>+<x> for the Extras / Tools menu ... :( In the Germanophone UI the accelerator key was always "x", so this change will be unexpected for most Germanophone users .... :( To Cor: I meant 5.1.0.0beta1. <Alt>+<x> and <Alt>+<c> seems to do the same. They toggle unicode on and of ... :( Do you need any further information? If so, feel free to ask :) Have a nice day Thomas.

DE_de :) But as not only Germans but also Dutch, Belgian, Austrian, Swiss and other people, who can speak, read and/or write in German, I have used Germanophone since my OOo times ... ;) Have a nice day Thomas.

Thanks for reporting this bug. It was fixed on Dec 4 (noted in bug 73691). Marking now as "works for me". Thomas please confirm. The Alt-C locale fix mentioned in comment 1 didn't "replace" the alt-X sequence as expected, it just added an additional sequence. We specifically had to "unset" alt-x for about 6 locales.

I have tested it with LO Version: 5.1.0.0.beta2 Build-ID: 53054959a12edc6510f51b94ddc9b73d27aedaf6 Threads 4; Ver: 4.2; Render: default; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8) (parallel installed, following the instructions from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux with DE-lang- as well as helppack on Debian Testing AMD64), but it is still not possible to use <Ctrl>+<x> to open the Extras (in English Tools) menu ... :( As there is no other version with Germanophone UI available, I am not sure, if I have to wait for the release of RC1, reopen this bug as "New" or something like that ... :( Sorry for the inconvenience Thomas.
