--- Comment #4 from john at curioussymbols.com ---
I don't think there is any issue at the OS level here -- I'm talking about
ensuring that Alt-key sequences are unique and available for all
top-of-the-screen menu options. 

Basically I expect every menu option, at all times, to be accessible with
simple key Alt+xxx keystrokes, unless that are already assigned with easy
Ctrl-... shortcuts.

In addition, I expect those keystrokes to be relatively stable over time, to
help 'muscle memory'.

But most important is that keystroke options exist. For example, in Impress
(LibreOffice 5.2.5.1) there is no keystroke for Format Character. In Calc,
there is no keystroke for Paste Special->Only Values.

Seems that some kind of 'accessibility review' might be needed to check this
issue thoroughly, since I am sure it is affect by translations (different
keystrokes in different languages) and also all the different modes that
LibreOffice can be in (Calc, Impress, etc), not sure how complex that would
be.r perhaps a debugging tool could be added to check through all menus for
available keyboard bindings at all times, for automated checking, and report
any non-shortcut-accessible menu items to a log file...?
