Hi Barnaby,
There is no need to change the program code, with very few operating
restrictions, you can customize the software's keyboard functions to be
whatever you choose.
I don't have access to an Apple computer right now, so the screen
captures below are taken from a Win 7 computer and read Ctrl+<key> to be
⌘ (Command)+<key>
* From Calc's menu select “*/Tools → Customize…/*”.
* In the "*/Customize/*" dialog (window) that opens, select the
"*/Keyboard/*" tab, scroll down the list of "*/Shortcut keys/*" and
select the one you want to modify (eg. Ctrl+D). Both Ctrl+D and
Ctrl+R already have default shortcuts allocated to them, but you can
override the defaults, or choose other unallocated shortcuts. In the
"*/Functions -> Category/*" list select "*/Edit/*". In the
"*/Functions -> Function/*" list select "*/Fill Down/*". Select
whatever is shown in the "*/Functions -> Keys/*" box. Press the
keyboard *Ctrl+D* key combination, select "/*Modify*/" button.
* Repeat for Ctrl+R and other other modifications you wish to make.
The software's source code can be found here:
https://openoffice.apache.org/downloads.html However, you should be
aware that the code base is very large and extremely complex.
BTW. The documentation mailing list is not the best place to send
suggestions, the "Users" or "Developer" lists are more appropriate, see:
https://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html
Regards
Dave
