             Bug #: 45507
           Summary: Usability: Keyboard <Enter> or <Return> for OK Buttons
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.3.4 release
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: anastasius_zwerg at hotmail.com


A question of usability: There are several dialogs where pressing the <Enter>
or <Return> does nothing, instead of having the same effect as pressing the OK
button (I am aware that this is not possible if there is multi-line text input
in the dialog, so the Return key would be required for text input).

The most annoying example: Edit>Paste Special>Unformatted text. This is a very
frequent command, and keyboard-only navigation would be highly desirable.

Another one that I personally use a lot is in Draw: Export as EPS - the 'EPS
Export Options' cannot be simply confirmed by <Return>.

It would be great if someone could have a look at all the dialogs to see
whether the 'OK on Enter' is missing. Thanks!
