Re: [libreoffice-users] Keyboard shortcuts that call for ctrl are not working on my mac

Hi :)
I think you might have inadvertently chosen combinations that might be 
restricted in some way.

Ctrl A is "Select all"
Ctrl Z is "Undo"
Ctrl Y is "Redo" but doesn't always work in every app

Ctrl X is "Cut"
Ctrl C is "Copy"  or sometimes ends programs run from the command-line
Ctrl V is "Paste"

There are other ones that might not be quite so universally used, such as Ctrl S 
to save, Ctrl P to print, Ctrl W to close (not exit unless it's the last tab 
left open).  Even if those don't work in Mac they might still be blocked from 
being re-defined in some cross-platform programs such as LibreOffice.  


So, hopefully the idea might work if you just use different keys but i really 
don't know much about styles so it could be a problem in there somewhere 
instead.  


Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Keyboard shortcuts that call for ctrl are not 
working on my mac

I'm writing a book and my publisher requires that I use a pretty insane 
stylesheet. The only way it's really manageable is with keyboard shortcuts.

So, I've tried to add some keyboard shortcuts for these styles for the ^ keys. 
For example, I've bound a character style to ^Z. However, when I try to use it, 
I just get the letter 'z'. Furthermore, when I try ^A, the cursor moves up one 
paragraph regardless of what I have it bound to.

Researching this issue, all I've found is this: 
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=32720 which 
appears indicate that there was a bug that has long since been fixed. I'm using 
the latest version o LibreOffice:

LibreOffice 3.3.2
OOO330m19 (Build:202)
tag libreoffice-3.3.2.2

I can't really figure out what is going wrong here. Is this a bug? I feel like I 
might be one of only a few people experiencing this, because there is a huge 
lack of information about it on google. If so, am I doing something wrong? :\

I'm on OS X 10.6.7.
