That one is a bug. The keycode com::sun::star::awt::Key::REPEAT is
assigned to that menu entry... and it ends up being translated with the
Sun keyboard key (see that file [0]).

        Ho hum; nasty :-)

That brings several questions to me: how comes the translation of the
key names is depending on the keyboard model? I have a normal french
keyboard with en-US locale and en-US libreoffice build.

        Well - I guess the -idea- is prolly to try to show the user the key
that is written on their keyboard, rather than a generic 'Ctrl' for
Control - it can show 'Control' (if that is what is written there) or
somesuch.

        IMHO that leads to excessive ugliness and a ton of code in there that
(AFAICS) works well only for obscure unix'es.

        But, of course, some keyboards really do have oddly named keys that we
want to assign shortcuts to so ...

        I was pondering what to do with the code the other day; if it is not
even working for the common cases .... ;-)

        ATB,

                Michael.
