Re: [libreoffice-users] assign keyboard keys

Hi :)

Generally it is better to start your own thread but don't worry this time.  I 
don't really know a good answer to the specifics of the question you asked but 
some side-issues spring to mind.

I'm fairly sure you can have both word-processors (WP & LO) installed on a 
system at the same time and just use a right-click and "Open with" to open a 
document with the non-default word-processor.

I am not sure which version of WIndows you are using but on Xp it is possible to 
install 2 keyboard layouts and put a button on the taskbar so you can switch 
between them easily.  I'm not in Xp right now but it is somewhere in Regional or 
language settings in the Control Panel i think.

Regards from
Tom :)

loyal Wordperfect user for a long time, but the software
    gives me lately a lot of grief.Thus, I am considering to permanently switch 
to Libreoffice (have
    been using Openoffice on and off in the past).Question:Wordperfect has a 
handy little function, that allows the user to
    assign just about everything to individual keys, including which
    letter they represent.Since I am a German, but live in Japan where I use 
Dell machines,
    which have basically the American keyboard layout,I cherished this 
Wordperfect function, because it allowed me to
    assign the letter "y" and "z" to their respective opposite position.That 
means, if I switch under Windows to the German keyboard layout,
    the "y" comes to lie where "z" is printed on the key and vice versa.
    The WP function allows me to change that, so that I get a "y", where
    it is printed on the key.This is not essential, but I have been used to that 
layout for my
    typing.Is there any way, I could accomplish this little feat in
    Libreoffice?Thank you.
