            Bug ID: 142182
           Summary: In Windows, Alt+E summons the Extension Manager and
                    cannot be reassigned.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: parsonage1909 at gmail.com

Description:
The key combination Alt+E always summons the Extension Manager and cannot be
reassigned. For anyone who uses a Macintosh keyboard layout, this makes acute
accents nearly impossible.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type Alt+E; Extension Manager appears.
2. Go to Tools>Customize>Function; Extension Manager is not in the list.
3. Despair.

Actual Results:
Extension Manager does not appear in the list of functions in the Customize
dialog box; thus it cannot be removed from the Alt+E key combination.


Expected Results:
I should be able to remove Extension Manager and assign Alt+E to another
function.



Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Because I use a Macintosh keyboard layout in Windows, this means I can’t type
acute accents in LibreOffice Writer, which is disabling, since I frequently
have to quote multiple languages.

It seems this feature, which I’m calling a bug, was deliberately added to fix
the complaint that the Extension Manager could not be summoned with a key
combination (Bug 58845). However, it breaks acute accents for me and anyone
else who uses the same keyboard layout. The only workaround is to use
Insert>Special Character, or to use a different keyboard layout and break my
thirty years of ingrained habit.
