Regina: thank you for your comment; I believe that my previous post contains
the answer to your question. For, see the 'additional information' section of
that post. But in short: to my knowledge, other applications get one to choose
the function first and the shortcut second.

Also: I have been involved in a somewhat illuminating forum discussion about
the counter-intuitiveness, or otherwise, of LibreOffice's way of assigning
keyboard shortcuts. Here is something that I ended up writing there ('there'
being the following URL:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/i-cannot-see-how-to-enter-custom-keyboard-shortcuts/87362/7).

=== [Start of quotation] ===

I suspect that it is not the whole truth about intuitiveness that it is ‘only
the continuation of a previous habit’. I grant though that intuitiveness is at
least partly that. So my criticism was too blunt. That said: if most software
does some thing in some single way, and there is little net advantage in doing
it a different way, then surely it is best to, so to speak, go with the flow .
.
