Re-assigning shortcuts unecessarily frustrating

Remapping four shortcuts like Ctrl + Down, Ctrl + Up, Ctrl + Left and Ctrl + Right to Move Down, Up, Left and Right should be really easy, right? I mean - all shortcuts are listed next to each other and so are the four functions. But perhaps you aren't aware that this is very comlicated in open office because each time you click a function, the shortcut changes. This forces the user to browse the shortcut list FOUR times even when all four shortcuts are in full view. Try it yourself ... open Calc and Customize, click Calc instead of Open Offce and now remap ctrl+down to move down, ctrl+up to up etc. See the problem?
Current keyboard customization interface is bad.
