Description hanxue 2003-07-31 14:58:20 UTC 
Currently, OO will list down all the possible keyboard combinations and all the 
possible actions. The user can then match the keyboard combination to the 
action. This is a bit tedious. 

I suggest that there ia a textbox that allows the user to press some keyboard 
combination. This combination will then displayed on the textbox and OO will 
check whether it is assigned to some other actions. 

Basically, this is how the Microsoft Word keyboard shortcut customisation works.

This is an excellent suggestion in my mind, mainly because OO doesn't
display all possible keyboard combinations at the moment.  I'd love to
assign <ctrl>+'=' for subscript, <ctrl>+'<' for decrease font size as
per MSWord etc. but I'm restricted at the moment.  If you change the
way keyboard customisation works then it would be great if you could
allow all possible combinations to be customised.  IMHO it is
important to allow users to define previously learnt shortcut combos
if you're going to attract new users.
