--- Comment #12 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
To UX-advise to resolve merit of doing this consolidation.

https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/23201/

Sorry Eike, understand the appeal of maintaining status quo, but the Short-cut
consolidation really is long overdue.

F4 for Data Sources, F5 for Navigator, and F11 all as single key short-cuts
assigned to launch Styles & Formatting dialogs predate implementation of GUI
Sidebar offering single button widget activation. 

Shifting these shortcuts to be multi-key entry using assignments for KEY_MOD1,
KEY_MOD2, SHIFT presents few true short-term hardships but has advantage of
allowing us to reduce collisions with OS reserved keys or HIG recommendations.

We've already gutted most menu structure and accelerator assignments--IMHO this
is just a continuation of the process.  Painful in the transitional phase, but
freeing the UI implementation for a better and more consistent UX.

Key to getting the transition done and accepted by users is to make it
consistent and to not drag it out over multiple releases. And to follow-up in
documentation, both the built-in/online help and in Wiki topical pages.
