Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 18521
No 'Alt-C' shortcut for Cancel button in the open dialog
Last modified: 2003-08-22 15:48:55 UTC
The 'Cancel' button in the file open dialog does not have a keyboard shortcut. (The workaround is to just press 'Esc' key to cancel instead).
.
all cancel buttons in OOo don't have a keyboard shortcut - this is common behaviour within OOo (and not only there, AFAIK). This is intentional, since ESC is the canonic way (at least: the way people are used to) to close dialogs, so why waste a shortcut? WONTFIX pwade, if you still disagree, I suggest submitting a new issue requesting that the decision is re-considered for *all* OOo dialogs. But I definately will not implement a solution which is specific to the file open dialog, but inconsistent with all other dialogs in OOo.
