Hi off2dr,

It would be really helpful to improve the situation if you can be very
specific. What combinations do you need that do not work?
(Assuming that you work with LibreOffice under Ubuntu Unity)

Alt+O+A does it for me.
(One glitch, the underline for A is not visible without touching the arrow key
- Ubuntu 15.10 / LibreOffice 5.0.5.2 Build ID: 1:5.0.5~rc2-0ubuntu2 Locale:
nl-NL (nl_NL.UTF-8) )

Pressing Alt and then the marked shortcuts, just opens the menu.. Is that not
the case for you?

> 3. I would be very glad to discover if I was wrong in my comment. 

Please try again in the current version.
At the moment, I do not see the issue you mention. If there is anything I miss,
please explain.
Thanks
