            Bug ID: 127726
           Summary: Default shortcut keys Ctrl+; and Ctrl+Shift+; (to
                    insert current date/time) clash on Estonian keyboard
                    layout
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Issue is similar to bug 88027, bug 126085 & bug 126888, but for Estonian
locale/layout.

Like German, Finnish and many other layouts, Estonian keyboards don't have a
";" key - that physical key is instead allocated for the letter "รถ" and the
semicolon character is being produced by Shift+comma instead, and colon by
Shift+period instead.

Thus, in Calc, there is clash between default shortcuts Ctrl+; for inserting
current date and Ctrl+Shift+; for current time: only current time can be
inserted by keyboard shortcut, as Shift has to be pressed anyway to get ";".

Tested with LibO 6.3.1:
- in Linux (Arch/KDE5) pressing Ctrl+Shift+, (== Ctrl+;) inserts current time,
- in Windows (10) the same shortcut does nothing.
(Should it then be two separate bug reports?)

For comparison, in Excel (2010) with Estonian locale:
Ctrl+Shift+, (== Ctrl+;) inserts current date
Ctrl+Shift+. (== Ctrl+:) inserts current time
