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

Hi :)
Just out of curiosity 
1.  could the <Ctrl><Alt>F key be re-assigned to jump into the toolbar?  Swapping the defaults 
around might be good as a feature-request for the longer-term too.  
2.  does anyone know which sub-folder in the config those key settings are stored?  Could it be 
copied to a network folder that everyone could copy to their system (or carry the folder on 
usb-stick or is there a more sophisticated way of pushing out configurations like this?
Regards from
Tom :)

<Ctrl>F now sets the Cursor into the input-field of the toolbar Find. 
The setting is for all LibO not only for Writer.

You can assign <Ctrl>F to "find&replace" via dialog "Customize" as it 
has been since the beginning. But this will hide the feature of setting 
the cursor into the input field of the toolbar Find.

Kind regards
