[libreoffice-users] Changing a 'hot key' assignment

I have to send this on my private email for various [employment] 
reasons, so I can't mention where I work, but it's a large 
multinational corporation with a very 'conservative' public image.
 
I have been using first star office then OOo and now LO on linux since 
before Sun bought it from the original vendor, and I have been using 
the OSS version since the day after it was first available.  I'm 
considered 'useful but a loose canon' at the office, because I've 
championed OSS solutions since before they had that popular name, and I 
prototyped our original NON-M$ desktops on linux instead of windows 
over ten years ago and got it accepted.

At the office I have, over the years, gotten about 200 people to use 
OOo and now LO instead of msword.  For the most part the transition was 
painless and everyone was happy.

HOWEVER after I moved to 3.4.3 from the older 3.3.x releases I'm 
suddenly hearing a WORLD of complaints about one thing.

The assignnment of the key to bring up search and replace.

Basically they hate the change.

Now instead of a <CTRL>F they have to hit <CTRL><ALT>F instead, and 
while from my background as a programmer that seems a trivial change, I 
have had over 70 complaints about this in the last week alone (and 13 
more today). Secretaries, admin. assistants, and managers DON'T like 
change.

So I have gone through the documentation and tried the various 
"options" available, but I don't see any way to give them what they 
want (<CTRL>F = find/search and replace), without editing the code, 
changing it there, and recompiling it myself.  I have to find a 
solution soon as one of the complaints is from a 'management' type who 
is 4 levels higher than I am.  He says to have it for him on Monday 
(PERIOD).

Is there a simpler solution? (replacing the users is NOT an option, 
however desirable...)

So if anyone can clue me in on this one, please help.

Thanks
