Description matthias.mueller-prove 2004-03-15 11:56:59 UTC 
Gnome uses Ctrl-Alt-Up/Down Arrow to "switch to workspace above/below current
workspace". Therefore these shortcuts cannot be used in  OOo Writer to change
the order of paragraphs.

As a workaround, the shortcuts on Gnome are customizable. Ctrl-Alt-Up/Down Arrow
can be apllied to nothing which enables the OOo feature again.

It is even better to use default shortcuts for OOo that are not in conflict with
Gnome.

BTW, this was no problem in OOo1.0/SO6, because we used just Ctrl-Arrow.
Comment 1 frank.loehmann 2004-04-07 13:13:15 UTC 
FL: This is general problem. We are currently evaluating if the already given
workaround Meta (Windows Key) + Alt + Cursor up keys works on all unix desktops.
Comment 2 frank.loehmann 2004-09-10 15:18:47 UTC 
FL->OS: Please re-introduce the Ctrl+Cursor up and down keys in parallel to the
currently existing ones, because the current ones do not work on Gnome. Today I
am pretty sure that this will  not raise an accessibility issue like assumed
when working on SO 7.
Please make sure that this shortcut gets documented. Thank you!
Comment 3 Oliver Specht 2004-09-27 13:38:59 UTC 
Fixed in cws os38 in sw/source/ui/swacc_tmpl.hrc
Comment 4 eric.savary 2004-09-30 17:22:40 UTC 
This issue will conflict with issue 31697 when we will be about to implement it.
We will have to re-think this shortcut....
Comment 5 Oliver Specht 2004-10-05 14:55:06 UTC 
We cannot have both functions at the same time. Either paragraphs are moved or
the cursor jumps on a paragraph basis with or without selection.

Comment 10 michael.ruess 2004-10-27 15:51:46 UTC 
Re-set to "fixed".

reopened
Comment 12 eric.savary 2004-10-27 16:47:03 UTC 
Tested on KDE.
Still the same behavior.: Ctrl+Alt+Arrows moves paragraphs, Ctr+Arrows does nothing.
Comment 13 Oliver Specht 2004-10-29 10:11:58 UTC 
Now also added to the XML-based accelerator configuration
Comment 14 michael.ruess 2004-11-04 14:37:35 UTC 
Setting to "Fixed".
Comment 15 michael.ruess 2004-11-04 14:39:25 UTC 
Verified fix in CWS os38. 
Tested with GNOME on JDS: Ctrl-Alt-Crsr switches workplaces; Ctrl-Crsr moves paras.
Tested with KDE on RH 7.1: Both combinations move paragraphs.
Comment 16 eric.savary 2004-11-15 13:28:03 UTC 
ok in src680m62

I would also like to understand why people think moving paragraphs is more
important to have as a default than navigating.  Do people really swap
paragraphs around more often than they navigate through the document?  Also, no
one seems to care about inconsistency between ctrl-left/ctrl-right and
ctrl-up/ctrl-down behaviour.


This seems like a bad design decision to me.
