Description edsuom 2002-02-26 01:20:43 UTC 
Please add the CTRL+= and CTRL+SHIFT+= key combinations to the list of available
keyboard shortcuts, and assign their default values to subscript and
superscript, respectively. This matches Word's behavior.

...Yet another "please become a Word clone"... 

This Time: Please become it by default... Brrr!

My piont in this very case: WHY?

In StarOffice/OpenOffice, this can be changed by the user: Get familiar with Tools-Configure, 
Tabpage Keyboard, Select Category "Format", Function "Superscript", see the Keys, delete it and 
make up a new one of your choice. This enables you to have OO "clony" to ANY other application. 
And not only Word!

I didn't suggest this enhancement, but it seems the comments miss the
point. Right now CTRL+= and CTRL+Shift+= are not keys that can be
assigned to anything, because the = key doesn't appear on the list.
So, regardless of whether the request was poorly phrased as a demand
for Word emulation, the suggested solution is not as helpful as it
could be, since = can't be assigned to anything at all, so one cannot
emulate Word by default, by choice, or emulate anything else for that
matter that would require the assignment of the = key to something.

I think the request should be interpreted broadly and OO.org should
list LOTS more keys and key-combinations for assignment under the
Keyboard Tab. In fact, why not make it infinite? Allow that list to be
customizable by the users, so that if some nut wants to make
CTRL+SHIFT+A+E+I enter a page break, then they can.
