           Summary: Writer 6.3.6.2 Bookmark keyboard short-cuts are
                    ineffective due to a focus regression
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.6.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
LibreOffice Writer 6.3.6.2 Bookmark keyboard short-cuts (e.g., "Go to") do not
work smoothly because after selecting / highlighting a desired Bookmark, the
TAB key needs to be pressed to change the focus from the Bookmark list sub-pane
to the Rename button, the "G" key needs to be pressed to change focus the "Go
to" button, and then the ENTER key or "G" key needs to be pressed to execute
the "Go to" button.  Needing to press 3 keys for the keyboard short-cut to work
is a regression from Writer 6.2.8.2 32-bit where just the "G" key alone would
execute the "Go to" button short-cut.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open a Writer .ODT file that contains Bookmarks
2.  Insert menu - Bookmark...
3.  Single left Mouse-Click desired Bookmark (or TAB key four times then
SPACEBAR key to highlight the first Bookmark)
4)  "G" key for "Go to" button or "C" key for "Close" button keyboard
short-cuts.  Notice these keyboard short-cuts do NOT work.
5)  TAB key (to change focus to the Rename button) - "G" key (to change focus
the "Go to" button) - ENTER key or "G" key (to execute the "Go to" button). 
Needing to press 3 keys for the keyboard short-cut to work is a regression from
Writer 6.2.8.2 32-bit where just the "G" key alone would execute the "Go to"
button short-cut.



Actual Results:
Writer 6.3.6.2 32-bit Bookmark pane keyboard short-cuts associated with the
under-lined letters of the buttons in the pane don't work due to the focus
still being in the Bookmark list sub-pane.

Expected Results:
Bookmark pane keyboard short-cuts associated with the under-lined letters of
the buttons in the pane should work like in Writer 6.2.8.2 32-bit.

Here is what I suggest to best resolve the above regression, improve Writer
Bookmark UX, and match MS Word's Bookmark behavior all at the same time:

A)  After single left Mouse-Clicking a desired Bookmark (or otherwise
highlighting a desired Bookmark), change focus to the "Go to" button so that
either the "G" key or ENTER key short-cuts move the document's contents to the
Bookmark location.    
B) After bringing up the Bookmark pane (i.e., Insert menu - Bookmark...), code
it so that entering the first letter of a Bookmark and then pressing the
DOWN-ARROW key highlights the next Bookmark in the list which starts with that
letter.  Suggestion A) above would then come into play so that the "Go to"
button is now in focus.
C)  Set the default keyboard short-cut for Bookmarks (i.e., Insert menu -
Bookmark...) to be Ctrl+Shift+F5.

Implementing items A) thru C) would make the typical Writer Bookmark flow the
same as MS Word, and hence make the transition to LibreOffice a bit more
seam-less for people that use Bookmarks to quickly navigate to desired sections
of their documents.  This would also be a productivity & UX improvement from
how Bookmarks currently work in Writer 6.3.6.2.
Thank you for considering my suggestions.
