Hi Cor, all!

Back from vacation and still smelling Italo's excellent pasta from the
Hackfest :-)

So what our UX friends think about moving "Repeat" to F4, "forever"?
Feasible? Advisable? Recomended?
Ah, and of course you know the possibility to to change the current
configuration with an extension or just an xml file, that you could both
push in the package...
There is another option, although I'm not a friend of the today's
solution (since we alienate the existing user base). But with some
tweaks it might do the job very well ...

Kohei (as far as I know) added another "compatibility" pane to the
options dialog. This dialog "Excel-fies" some keybindings in a rush. In
a company (controlled rollout, stable user settings) this should work
very good.

But since we are on libreoffice-ux-advice, here is what I think might
work better:
       * use the given LibreOffice / OpenOffice.org keybindings per
         default
       * optional: move the compatibility functionality to "Tools -
         Customize" (basically, I assume it is a "Load..." keyboard
         settings) so that other modules benefit as well
       * add the keybinding F4 to the "Excel-fied" settings list

Olivier, Cor, Astron - might this doe the job? If yes, then we should
contact/add the Calc guys...

Personally, I think this would keep LibreOffice clean on the one side,
but would allow others to quickly tweak the setting if a migration is
needed. But we should have in mind that doing something like that causes
pain for those who change between LibreOffice installations with
different configuration (and sadly, keybindings are something you don't
see if you execute it blindly ... surprise, surprise).

Cheers,
Christoph

The idea of a key binding configuration set that (to the best effort) can mimick Excel is an interesting idea.

Of course I guess some restriction apply and I would start for Windows first ("Market share oblige").

What do we need to provide such key mapping? A simple text list? I f you help to find the right spot in the source I can try to give a spin on it.
