--- Comment #7 from Ming Hua <ming.v.hua at qq.com> ---
As it turns out, changing hotkeys in menus is much more complicated than
changing hotkeys in dialogs.

Take the "P~aragraph/T~able" conflict for example, the "Paragraph" menu item is
used in many places in all modules [1], and undoubtful many, if not all of them
will also use this "P~aragraph" label and Alt+A hotkey.  While the "Table" menu
item is used in less places, it is used in one of the most visible place --
Writer's first level menu (with File, Edit, etc.) and it definitely uses the
same "T~able" label as Draw's Format > Table menu.  Changing either of these
would affect many other places in the whole UI.

While the design blog post [2] mentions the possibility of using "ContextLabel"
in addition to "Label" property to solve the "Table" issue, I don't feel
comfortable tackling this without a LO build environment available to test and
iterate.

So un-assign myself and set back to NEW.  Hopefully someone more competent will
be interested in this problem and give it another try.
