             Bug #: 49091
           Summary: Alt-Left, Alt-Right keyboard shortcuts ineffective
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.4.6 release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: ryan.jendoubi at gmail.com


Just spent 20 minutes getting very confused as to why I couldn't assign the
Navigation controls "Back" and "Forward" to a keyboard shortcut. Had a nice
long bug report all typed up for it, but before posting tried different
shortcuts...

Sure enough, I could assign them to Alt-B and Alt-F, but not Alt-Left and
Alt-Right :p

A little more experimenting and it seems that no matter what one assigns to
these combinations, all that happens is the cursor moves left and right
completely normally: their shortcut function isn't activated at all.

I haven't upgraded to the 5.x series yet for a number of reasons (including Bug
47764 and Bug 46155) so I'd appreciate if someone else could check that this
bug still exists in the newest versions :-)

Steps to reproduce: In LibreOffice Writer:
1. Go to the Tools menu > Customize...
2. If not selected, select the Keyboard tab
3. Assign some (any) function to the Alt-Left and Alt-Right key combinations
4. Return to your document
5. Test the Alt-Left and Alt-Right keyboard shortcuts
*Result: No effect: shortcut functions not activated*
