Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 93326
Auto complete Ctrl-Tab not working on Mac OSX
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:44:35 UTC
Just enter some words which start with the same 3 letters one in a line for having a history for auto complete. Then in a new line enter these 3 letters. You get a possibility for auto complete, but you can't switch it. According to the help it should be possible to switch forward via Ctrl-Tab and backwards via Ctrl-Shift-Tab. This occurs on OSX in OOO300_m3 and is likely to be caused by the special treatment for Command-key on OSX.
Reassigned to SBA.
SBA: Workaround: Tools-AutoCorrect, Tab "Word Completion": Choose another key that works, i.e. <Enter> SBA->Gantim: This is not P2. Please see http://qa.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddIssues_EnterModify.html#priority Thank you for your comprehension. Set Prio P3, confirming issue. Reassigned to PL. Adjusting Summary. Put ES and myself on c/c. SBA->PL: This one is more precise than in Issue 92224 ("MacOSX keyboard shortcuts not quite there").
This entry was set to P2 because I thought there is no workaround and to be honest I don't understand the workaround. Where do I set the shortcut for rotating the possible completion words? I mean switching to the next possible word? And if I set it to enter, how can I accept a word completion which is what I usually do using enter? A field to set the shortcut for "Accept with" exists but not for "Rotate suggestion forward" and "Rotate suggestion backwards". If there is a misunderstanding and no workaround exists I suggest to set Prio back.
