Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 13868
Deselect All Function
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:37:47 UTC
A deselect all function that can be mapped to a keyboard shortcut would sometimes be very usefull. For example when I want to draw an object over an existing object which is selected I first have to unselect this object. In OOo 1.0 this was possible with just pressing the Escape key once.In OOo 1.1 beta, pressing the escape key deselects also the selected drawing tool and I have to select the drawing tool again.This makes it also impossible to select a drawing tool permanently because unselecting objects with the escape key also unselects the drawing tool. For me the behaviour when pressing the Escape key in OOo 1.0 was better than in OOo 1.1: First pressing the escape key deselects the objects and a second press deselects the drawing tool. Implementing a deselect all function that could be mapped to any keyboard shortcut could also solve this problem.
Reassigned to Bettina.
This seems to be a valid feature request.
