            Bug ID: 129935
           Summary: Mnemonic key (keyboard accelerator) clash in "Edit
                    Fields" dialog
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ming.v.hua at qq.com

It seems that starting from 6.3 series, the "Edit Fields" dialog (first create
a field with Insert -> Field -> Date, then select the field and Edit -> Fields
to open the dialog) added mnemonic keys to the buttons at the bottom (Help, OK,
and Cancel).  I'm guessing it started in 6.3 series because in 6.2.8 they don't
have mnemonic keys, and in 6.3.4 they do.

The "OK" button uses letter "O" for the mnemonic, however it clashes with the
"Format" column that's already using "O".  Now when I press Alt+O the focus
goes to the OK button instead of the Format column as it used to.  Since the
"Format" column used "O" first, and it also exists in the Insert -> Field ->
More Fields... dialog and maybe others, the "OK" button probably should yield
and use "K" instead.

Similarly, in the same dialog, the "Select" column, the "Offset in days"
spinbox, and the "Edit" button all use "E" as mnemonic.  But that's probably
less problematic to users as those are less frequently accessed from keyboard.

My "About LO" information:
