(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #1)
We run out of (good) shortcuts long time ago. There are things like
shift+ctrl+e to open the extension manager, which is absolutely not needed.
But once users know this shortcut it's very hard to remove it again. So
unless you have a good proposal I'd recommend to customize locally (Tools >
Customize > Keyboard, and enter the search term at Functions).

Thanks! I  wasn't aware of the ability to customize shortcuts. Very helpful
indeed!

Generally, if you allow me that remark, that track changes is one of the areas
where LibreOffice is most behind MS Office. Quite often when I have to work
with large documents with several editors, I find myself falling back to MS
Office because LibreOffice's interface for handling changes reflects what was
state of the art in the 1990s. Sadly, this is no exaggeration: The issue report
suggesting that OpenOffice.org should use margins to display changes, as MS
Office does dates back to 2002, see 
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=9661 It is just not practical. 

From my point of view, the lack of a proper UI for handling track changes is
one of the principal showstoppers for a full migration from MS Office.
Precisely because of that I always have a hard time convincing my peers that
they should ditch MS Office in favour of LibreOffice. But I also understand
that LibreOffice is a volunteer project. At the same time, I have a hard time
believing that no volunteer contributors see this as an important area.
