Background: VBA macro can have a defined key binding that launches the macro. We don't import that key-binding at the moment. Well actually import all the information be we unfortunately discard it. For example if we had a Macro named 'launchByKey' in and Excel spreadsheet that was bound to the key cntrl-p then this is what you would see in the VBA source code Attribute VB_Name = "Module1" Sub launchByKey() Attribute launchByKey.VB_Description = "cntrl-p launches the macro" Attribute launchByKey.VB_ProcData.VB_Invoke_Func = "p\n14" MsgBox "launched" End Sub As you can see the special attribute line 'Attribute lauchByKey.VB_ProcData.VB_Invoke_Func = "p\n14"' gives all the necessary info we need ( ok, we also need to recognise which procedure that attribute applies to ). Note: Currently we do at least extract information associated with one type of 'Attribute' statement see 1) legacy filter filter/source/msfilter/svxmsbas.cxx ( SvxImportMSVBasic::extractAttribute ) 2) oox filter source/ole/vbamodule.cxx ( VbaModule::extractOleOverrideFromAttr ) In LibreOffice it is possible to provide a document only key configuration ( see the Tools|Customize|Keyboard dialog ) where a key|macro binding can be created. Finding the source code for that dialog will no doubt show how to create such a binding.
Deteted "Easyhack" from summary
adding LibreOffice developer list as CC to unresolved EasyHacks for better visibility. see e.g. http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/minutes-of-ESC-call-td4076214.html for details
Removing EasyHack for now as its been around since 2011-06 with little interest from newcomers so far.
