Typing accented ŵ^character in Libre Office Write 7.2.1.2 brings up Style Inspector pane

[sheddyian]

On Windows 10 x64, running LO 7.2.1.2

Windows is set to CYM (Welsh) language input, LO is set to Welsh language.

In notepad, Wordpad or Chrome, I can type ALTGR + 6 then W to get Ŵ . Works fine. In LO, this opens the Style Inspector pane. I do not want this. Repeated presses of ALTGR 6 W will get a Ŵ but this seems intermittent, with the Style inspector pane appearing and disappearing. It is frustrating.

I have searched various questions and replies about accented characters in LO, none of the answers seems relevant here, many suggesting it to be a windows setting or directing me to menus I cannot find (perhaps older versions of LO?). It works fine in other programs, except LO.

Hope someone can advise me.

Thanks

Ian

Open any Writer document.
Menu / Tools / Customize / Keyboard. Press Ctrl+Alt+6 (or find in Shortcut Keys), then press button “Delete”.

Short explanation: that AltGr+6 for you seems to send the same keyboard code as Ctrl+Alt+6, which is assigned to the InspectorDeck functionality (Style Inspector in sidebar). You can delete the assignment and assign another shortcut to the function.
