Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 56160
Assignment of key mapping to insert hyperlink has no effect
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:44:39 UTC
I'm trying to move from MS Office to OpenOffice. In Word and FrontPage the Ctrl- K key combination is used to create a hyperlink. I tried using the Customize menu item in Writer to create a key mapping to get this behavior. It appears to work, however when I hit Ctrl-K the hyperlink dialog does not appear. Now, when I change the Ctrl-K key mapping to insert a horizontal ruler (the item right above hyperlink in the selection box) and hit Ctrl-K the ruler dialog is displayed. I posted this on http://www.oooforum.org/ (http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=25211) and someone there confirmed that they had the same problem.
Reassigned to ES.
ES->OS: it looks like a slot problem. In OOo 1.1.4, the "Insert Hyperlink" (and not "Hyerlink") command raises the Character dialog on tabpage "Hyerlink"
Insert/Hyperlink configures the command EditHyperlink The command InsertHyperlinkDlg - the desired command - is not listed in tools/customize.
Not a huge regression against 1.1.x -> 2.0.3
Target changed to 2.x
move target to 3.x according http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Target_3x
In my opinion this is something that is important when it comes to productivity. Not being able to use the keyboard for this operation lowers efficiency. I can reproduce this bug on both XP and Linux builds .. so it seems to be valid still. Please consider fixing this soon or maybe someone has a workaround?
My last post was wrong, as of OO 3.1 keymapping on the Customize menu item works as expected - the correct command "Insert Hyperlink" is now listed. The whole insertion process is still abit confusing as there is in fact two dialogboxes that let you do almost the same operation. This issue should be closed.
Where is the problem? In category "Edit" the function "Hyperlink" opens the hyperlink dialog and there is no problem to assign it to Strg+K. I use OOo3.1 and OOo3.1.0m16 on WinXP. Do you use the wrong function? (category "Edit", function "Open Hyperlinks" jumps to the target and opens a browser for example, and function "Remove Hyperlinks" removes it, but the text remains.)
Regina, I was wrong, it does work. However, when browsing the "Insert" category the first entry that looks correct is "Hyperlink" - this entry however only lets you edit hyperlinks. Scrolling further down I you'll find "Insert hyperlink" .. but isn't that kind of redundant anyways, when you are browsing the "Insert" category? :-) Maybe at least the first entry should be renamed to "Edit hyperlink"? Still the same dialog works as -insert- when invoked from the menu. Sigh..
I wonder why this bug is taking so long to fix? Is it really targeted for 4.x ? I am able to reproduce it in 3.4.1
On version 4.0.1 (en-US version): Entry : Command Menu - Edit - Hyperlink... : .uno:EditHyperlink Menu - Insert - Hyperlink... : .uno:HyperlinkDialog On Tools - Customize - Keyboard tab: Category - Function : Command Insert - Insert Hyperlink: .uno:InsertHyperlinkDlg Edit - Hyperlink (1st): .uno:HyperlinkDialog Edit - Hyperlink (2nd): .uno:EditHyperlink If you want to open insert hyperlink dialog, assign Edit - Hyperlink (1st) to the shortcut key. But the order of content of Function listbox depends on the localization.
This issue is no longer valid as descrived in Comment 12. But I'm wondering why .uno:HyperlinkDialog command listed under Edit category. The same command is used in the Insert menu of Calc, Impress, Web, Global, Draw and xForm. Its better to be categorized in Insert category.
