<pre>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 (<a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_NEW "
title="NEW - no shortcut or toolbar button for Extension Manager"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=58845">Bug 58845</a>). 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.</pre>
