Native macOS keyboard shortcuts

[ankc]

Hi!

I am assigning standard native macOS shortcuts to common functions, eg:

Option-Left to move left by one word
Option-Right to move right by one word
Command-Left or Control-A to go to the beginning of the line
Command-Right or Control-E to go to the beginning of the line
Command-{ to go one tab left
Command-} to go one tab right

And so on, based on these Mac keyboard shortcuts – Apple Support (AU)

I have managed to make changes based on the keyboard customization panel, but I can’t find a way to modify the shortcuts used when editing text itself in calc - is there a place to edit those or do I have to recompile from source?

Once I am done with this I’d be eager to share with anyone else who wants more macOS-appropriate shortcuts in their program - assuming nobody else has done it before! (I seem to recall NeoOffice getting it right)

Thanks!

from source

(but even there you might end up in a lower level library)

maybe ping the Development/Mailing List to get some help/mentoring.

Thanks for the pointer! Taking a look, although for some reason it seems very very slow from Australia:
