Hello,

sent also to [design] as I think this is where it pertains.

On the same goal and idea, I had suggested a *loooong* time ago on the 
French OOo lists to create a set of keyboard shortcuts that would help 
the MS-Word power users switching to Writer.

Beginners and standard users can switch quite easily. They haven't a 
thorough knowledge of the tool and usually just use the menus to get to 
the functionalities they need (argh!).

Power users have long understood that the keyboard is a tool of 
productivity. Thus, they use keyboard shortcuts widely. As Word and 
Writer have different sets of shortcuts (at least they had when I left 
MS-Word alone, a long time ago), it could be an interesting work to port 
the Word shortcuts into Writer. We could then offer an easy transition 
that would fill a big gap for these people, helping them to switch tools 
more quickly.

What do you think? Do I miss something?

Note that this is just an idea. I have to-day no clue to what the Word 
shortcuts are vs Writer ones.
