            Bug ID: 131316
           Summary: EDITING / UI: Feature Request for key sequence mapping
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: janvi at veith.net

Customize>Keyboard>Edit is insufficient.  See appended list of sometimes
very old related and existing bugs.  None of this bugs complains about the
missing possibility to assign free key sequences additional to static key
shortcut combinations.  Implementation requires a state machine to the
keyboard input and there are several other editors who do this very nice. 
This feature typically allows (at least partly) emulation of other editors. 
Customization result allows configurations far away from Windows default UI
style.  Once implemented, it can also used to realize any OS or other user
flavour editors typical behaviour.  Going back to the roots, the DOS StarWriter
by Marco Börries StarDivision was in fact a Wordstar clone who makes extensive
use of those shortcut key sequences.  Very effective speed editing without any
mouse. Some examples of other editors keymap customizations:

Ultra Edit implemented key sequence feature in latest versions.  
See one of the discussions about here:
http://forums.ultraedit.com/emacs-keybindings-t1875-s10.html

Textmaker is a modern UI multi OS editor what shows nice implementation of
the customize keyboard dialog including free key sequences.  For testing,
please use the demo version of Textmaker included in Softmaker Office. 
Avoid testing Textmaker included in FreeOffice.  FreeOffice disabled this
feature in latest version 2018 while there was a setup for predefined "classic"
keymap until version 2016.

Eclipse is a modern multi OS IDE what shows nice implementation of customize
keybard dialog including free key sequences.  Download to test with default
editor is sufficient, no plugin required.  For example of Eclipse custom
keymap plugin configuration, see the IntelliJ keymap project on github.

There are existing Word capabilities  but I wont discuss them  here.
