Hi

What do I need to do for LibO to accept the shortcut keys,please?

An alternative is to ignore the LO settings and just use the native
operating system special keys. These then apply to ALL apps, not just LO.

If you are under Linux they are called the "Compose" sequences:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key
    http://fsymbols.com/keyboard/linux/compose/

You specify a keyboard key to be your "compose" key (generally called
the "Multi_key") (e.g., RightWin) and then press the sequences to get
the desired character.

e.g.,

é = <Multi_key> <apostrophe> <letter "e">

The combinations are defined in
 
    /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose

under openSUSE 11.4, YMMV.

Here is an example of the definition:

    <Multi_key> <apostrophe> <e>    : "é" U00E9 # LATIN SMALL LETTER E
WITH ACUTE

Defining the Multi_key assignment can be a trick, but under openSUSE
11.4 it is easy: Menu > Configure Desktop > Input Devices > Keyboard >
Advanced > Compose key position

HTH, cheers, Andy
