Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 78396
Unnecessary dialog when push delete key
Last modified: 2007-06-13 21:57:51 UTC
Hello folks: Congratulations and thanks for your great work and freeing us ;-). The enhancement is about when you push the delete key; appears a dialog that maybe is better as a popup menu option as already is, but in general we want to delete the content of the cell (value or formula), if I want to delete other things or all, with CTRL+Delete or the menu item is more functional, but the delete key should be a shortcut for the most common task, delete the value or formula. Thanks.
I absolutely agree with this user! From the very beginning, when I started dealing with OpenOffice 1.0 in 2005, I noticed this annoying behaviour. There shouldn't be any dialog box when you press the delete button !! This is completely different to the behaviour of MS Excel with which we are all used over the years. I have voted for this issue.
