Reassigned to MMP. I think this is the same issue I noticed with OOo 3.1 on Mac OS X -- http://leuksman.com/log/2009/05/08/openoffice-spanish-keyboard-shortcut-oddity/ The shortcut keys are being localized for Spanish in a way which doesn't match the behavior of any other applications I can find. I can verify this with both Mac OS X 10.5 and Ubuntu 9.04; all other applications I've tried so far use ctrl/cmd+O for open, ctrl/cmd+S for save, etc while OpenOffice alone uses ctrl/cmd+A for open, ctrl/cmd+G for save, etc. This mismatch makes OpenOffice basically totally unusable for me with the localization set to Spanish unless I "customize" all the keyboard shortcuts back to the universal settings. Linux apps using ctrl+O/ctrl+S in Spanish: * Nautilus * Evolution * Firefox * Gimp * Gnome Sound Recorder * GEdit Linux apps using ctrl+A/ctrl+G in Spanish: * OpenOffice Mac OS X apps using cmd+O/cmd+S in Spanish: * Finder * Firefox * TextEdit * Pages Mac OS X apps using cmd+A/cmd+G in Spanish: * OpenOffice Unfortunately the only copy of Windows I have on hand appears to be English-only so I'm unable to confirm the platform behavior on Windows, but the total inconsistency with platform standards on Mac and Linux is very offputting. I am no longer officially active on OOo. Please take over. I am no longer officially active on OOo. Please take over. |
