Description V Stuart Foote 2016-02-02 16:36:41 UTC 
Was looking at bug 92516 and here is an related UX issue for folks--seems wrong.

On current master
Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 91c072b473beadda01a38dbc26086207c7b4d145

and 

Version: 5.1.0.3 (x64)
Build ID: 5e3e00a007d9b3b6efb6797a8b8e57b51ab1f737

and as far back as

LibreOffice 3.3.0 
OOO330m19 (Build:6)
tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4

The handling of the Q_MOD1, e.g. <Ctrl>+Q, *shortcut* assigned .uno:Quit action seems wrong.

My expectation is that as it is a global shortcut [1] it should be honored in all LibreOffice frame elements. But, it seems to be ignored depending on the UI element you're located int.

While in the StartCenter backingwindow, or with any document module open in a document, if focus is toggled to the main menu the <Ctrl>+Q shortcut takes no action.  But if focus is toggled into the startcenter or open document (<Alt> or <F10>) the .uno:Quit command performs.

Cycling the focus through the elements with (F6 or <Shift>F6)  it seems the main menu and the toolbars *do not* respond to the <Ctrl>+Q shortcut. While the Sidebar, document canvas, and status bar do respond and LibreOffice closes as expected.

This seems wrong--the .uno:Quit shortcut should be have the same in all elements. Especially as the O_MOD1, e.g. <Ctrl>+O, shortcut assigned .uno:Open and present on the same menus responds as expected.

Comment 1 Heiko Tietze 2016-02-04 08:31:53 UTC 
Crtl+Q closes both Writer and start center here as expected. If there is a problem than it would be a bug, not a question for UX. (We could challenge if ctrl+Q makes sense, however)

5.0.4.2 (Linux/KDE, Arch Linux LibO fresh)
Comment 2 V Stuart Foote 2016-02-04 13:10:48 UTC 
@Heiko, * please check with these STR

1. Open Libreoffice to StartCenter
2. <F10> to position focus to main menu File, enter if needed to expose drop list
3. enter <Ctrl>+Q from keyboard

Result?

4. enter <Ctrl>+O from keyboard

Result?

Also, perform the same with any of the document modules open. 

Is the Q_MOD1 shortcut behavior correct?

=-=

For me on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit en-US, or Centos 6.5 (GNOME), or Unbutu 15.2 (lunbutu), Fedora 22 (LXDE) with any version of LibreOffice the assigned Q_MOD1, i.e. <Ctrl>+Q, action .uno:Quit is simply not active from the main menu, although other global short cuts are.

And if you toggle/advance (<F10> or <F6> respectively) into the document the shortcut becomes active.  Why is the Q_MOD1 ,<Ctrl>+Q, shortcut not active from the main menu?

From what I've tested, it has been inactive from the OOo transition. So, this *is* a UI issue and so generally bad UX from an inconsistency perspective--made more noxious by Simon and Caolans work on "toggling" accelerators for GTK+ 3 compliance.

Sorry...
s/Ubuntu 15.2/Ubuntu 15.04/
Comment 4 Heiko Tietze 2016-02-04 18:40:53 UTC 
Oh, you mean using keyboard shortcuts from 'menu activation mode' (F10), expanded or not. No, neither ctrl+O nor +Q works here. But I wouldn't expect that from the collapsed menu activation state. However, when I see the shortcuts expanded - of course I want to use it then. And as reported in the expanded status ctrl+O is fine but not +Q. 

So yes, this thicket is an interesting UX bug. -> confirmed to UI

On Linux, i've tested other apps and none of their shortcuts work when the menu is open, so that is likely a Linux OS-level issue. On Windows, the shortcuts do work in most apps, so there is likely something wrong that LO isnt picking it up there, but other gtk apps have the same problem (GIMP, AOO).

We have a number of issues when it comes to shortcuts not working in particular places. Like for example the text field in the Find toolbar not working with various shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl + O, Ctrl + H). Its even work on Mac, as you cant even Ctrl + V (bug 49853) and is one of the highest duplicated bugs on Mac.

While O_MOD1 <Ctrl>+O shortcut works.
