--- Comment #1 from Adina Moldovan <ad...@yahoo.com> ---
**System configuration**
- OS X 10.11.6, Open office version 4.1.3, keyboard input source: US
- Windows 7 Professional, Open office version 3.4, keyboard input source: US

**Context**
Go to Open Office (OO) > Tools > Customize > Keyboard

I ran some **followup tests related to ctrl modifier (^)**. My observation is
that in combination with the cmd (apple) key the ctrl key seems to be replaced
by the option key. In combination with other keys, the command either seems not
to execute anything, or another system command is executed instead.
- in combination with numbers: the command didn't seem to execute what the OO
shortcut was set to. E.g ctrl+1, ctrl+2 was set to display the About OO pop-up.
Instead, they only display the numbers 1 or 2. For the Windows version, their
correspondent shortcut keys are alt+1, alt+2. Using alt/option key on OS X
didn't seem to execute the shortcut either. Instead, special characters are
being displayed, like ¡ or ™. If I choose a different keyboard layout (e.g from
US standard to Romanian), the symbol is different ˜ or ˇ. These characters are
displayed also in other programs than OO.
- in combination with letters: the ones that I tried didn't seem to execute any
command. E.g ctrl+K
- in combination with F keys: the ones that I tried didn't seem to execute any
command. E.g ctrl+F1
- in combination with special keys: the OO setting is overwritten by other
commands, e.g ctrl+key up. In windows though, the command executes what I set
it to in OO settings.
- in combination with shift key: the ones that I tried didn't seem to execute
any command. E.g ctrl+shift+0
- in combination with command (apple) key: the ctrl key seems replaced by the
option key. E.g I set ctrl+cmd+0 in OO to display the About OO popup. Pressing
ctrl+cmd+0 didn't seem to execute any command. Instead, option+cmd+0 shows the
About OO popup. I tested this with ctrl+cmd+1, ctrl+cmd+P, ctrl+cmd+F1,
ctrl+cmd+arrow down.
- in combination with shift and cmd keys: the ones that I tried didn't seem to
execute any command. E.g shift+ctrl+cmd+0

**Note!** When pressing modifier keys on my keyboard, I also used them in
combination with fn key

**Questions**
1. There are some grayed out shortcuts that are not available to modify. I
assume that the OO commands that are overwritten by others are intended to be
grayed out, e.g ctrl+key up on OS X or ctrl+alt+del in Windows. Is that
correct?  
2. I observed that the grayed out shortcuts don't correspond one to one with
guidelines like
https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/content/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/Keyboard.html
and
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb246447(v=vs.85).aspx.
Is this something OO would want to? 
3. I observed that there is no corelation between the shortcuts enabled in OS X
> System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts and the OO grayed out keyboard
shortcut keys. Is an enhancement like graying out the shortcut keys that are
enabled by the system something that the OO team would like to have?
4. OS X and Windows have the same shortcuts greyed out. The exception is on OS
X, where shift+cmd+0-9 are greyed out, while in Windows their correspondent,
shift+ctrl+0-9, can be modified. Is this something intentional?

Thanks.
