Further to this, if I customise the Edit menu and remove the Find
command, I cannot add it back in as it does not appear in the list

of

commands. A reset will see Find back in the edit menu.

That's probably a bug. I don't know if anyone reported it, but I

guess

someone should.

I will check to see if present also on Linux and file a bug. I could
not locate an existing bug for this.

On Linux, I do not seem to loose the ctl-F shortcut to the find tool

bar.

The problem is that when you intentionally REMOVE the shortcut for

Ctrl+f

(Tools → Customization) you can't get it back, since Search is nowhere

to

find. If you can find it, please tell us where, so we also can find it.

run Linux (exclusively) and I can not find it.

On my Linux machine (assuming Tools>Customise is the same as
View>Toolbars>Customise)


It is.

I can remove the shortcut Ctrl+f or change it
to something else and then delete it but Ctrl+f still activates the find
tool bar.


I just tested that and it doesn't work. Ctrl+f does nothing efter removing
it and reset won't bring it back once I left the Customize dialogue.
Fortunately I saved my settings before this test, so I could bring it back
by reading it back in.

I'm on Ubuntu Studio 20.04 (Xfce), LibreOffice 7.3.6.2.

Did you set this with ”LibreOffice” or ”Writer” checked in the upper right
corner on the customize dialogue? When ”Writer is checked”, Ctrl+f is
empty, when ”LibreOffice” is selected, Ctrl+f is linked to Find (or Search
or whatever it's called in the English version).

As though it is hard coded.


Doesn't seem to be on my system, at least.

It is worse than I thought.
As the OP was using Calc, I was testing with Calc set in upper right. On
my OpenSUSE 15.4 using SUSE repository version of LO Calc (7.3.6.2) always
goes to the Find dialogue with ctl-F unset or reset.

Oh, I don't know why I picked Writer, since I'm mostly a Calc user myself,

but it's interesting that they behave differently in this matter. Makes me
believe even more this is a bug.

However now trying Writer (and LibreOffice in upper right) this is not the
case. As you state above removing it and reset won't bring it back. During
the process I set ctl-F = "About LibreOffice" and now this persists in
writer after removing it or resetting even though Calc is fine. On the
upside I have a handy shortcut if I ever want to check my version of LO
whilst in Writer

I check my version of some of my installed software with AutoKey (python

based text expansion tool). I just type ”lbov” (short for LiBreOffice
Version) and out comes ”LibreOffice 7.3.6.2”. I'm on Ubuntu, as I mentioned
earlier, and my script for getting the version looks like this, if anyone
would like to know:










*import subprocess,
reName="libreoffice"CapName="LibreOffice"Result=subprocess.run([Name,
'--version'],                      stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
    universal_newlines=True)Output=Result.stdout[0:-1]Output=re.sub('([^ ]+
[^ ]+) [^ ]+', r'\1', Output) keyboard.send_keys(Output)*

Kind regards

Johnny Rosenberg

And I find now that Reset doesn't reset the shortcut keys to the default.

On my Mac it cannot be restored
without a reset.

Also the fact that cmd-F does not work and cannot be added to keyboard
shortcuts because there is no Find function.

Before customizing, you can save your current settings, and then
(hopefully) bring them back if something goes wrong. Maybe worth to
consider next time. :)


Kind regards

Hi again.
I am now wondering if the find dialogue is deprecated in 7.3.6. I
cannot find it explained in the help.
When you run the mouse over the find field at the bottom of the

window

the pop up tip states "Find text in values, to search in formulas

use

the dialog" which may be leading me astray.

You can use the find/replace dialogue with a number of search

options,

are the options you see not working in the find dialogue also not
available in the find/replace dialogue.

If I close the find tool bar at the bottom of the window, Edit>Find
will open it again, no Find dialogue.
Cmd F now opens another strange dialogue requesting search for
command.

Good evening
I just came across something I do not understand (and so far could
not find being mentioned in the manuals etc.).
Using Windows 10, LibreOffice 7.1.8.1
I noticed in Calc that when I try to find something, in the find
dialog
* Match case = greyed out = not working
* Formatted display = OK
* Entire cells = greyed out = not working
* All sheets = OK

Now, why would these functions be disabled? I tried to find

something

under tools, but so far without luck.
And I am quite sure I was able to search the data with Match case
checked.
I tried to reboot the computer. That did not change anything

either.


1)    Is there a reason for this behavior?
2)    Is there a way to fix it?

Thank you
Thomas
