Description Robinson Tryon (qubit) 2013-03-13 12:57:21 UTC

Many pages of the Online Help mention a non-existent key CommandCtrl:

https://help.libreoffice.org/Draw/Shortcut_Keys_for_Drawing_Objects
https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/AutoInput
https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Using_Scenarios
(etc...)

I believe this may be a mis-formatting of "Command/Ctrl" -- a reference to the different modifier key used on OSX.

The term "Command/Ctrl" is still confusing, especially if one is running OSX and has both a Command *and* a Control key on one's keyboard. Things get even more confusing if one is using an Apple keyboard or an Apple laptop, but running Windows or GNU/Linux.

I suggest that the documentation reference the Control key, and we place a note at the top of the page or in the sidebar mentioning that when running OSX, one will need to use the 'Command' key instead of the 'Ctrl' key in most (all?) instances.

Help to Wiki converter does the following:

Source:
<item type="keycode"><switchinline select="sys"><caseinline select="MAC">Command</caseinline><defaultinline>Ctrl</defaultinline></switchinline>+Tab</item> 
Wiki code:
{{KeyCode|CommandCtrl+Tab}}

This is wrong. On the other hand, when keyboard shortcut is not "keycode":

Source:
<switchinline select="sys"><caseinline select="MAC">Command</caseinline><defaultinline>Ctrl</defaultinline></switchinline>
Wiki code:
{{System|default=Ctrl|mac=Command}}

But unfortunately the System template is a stub, that does not detect system, See https://help.libreoffice.org/WikiAction/edit/Template:System
