|
Since patch3 I miss the function of moving marked paragraphs up or down within Text with CONTROL CURSOR.
Does anyone knows if it is gone permanently or only uses different keys?
It was very helpfull for me! |

When you say "marked paragraphs", are you using a Writer document and does "marked" mean you highlighted some text?

I cannot reproduce this behavior with OpenOffice.org 2.2.1 which is what NeoOffice is based on.
What I did find is that if you highlight some text and click and drag, you can drag the highlighted text to a new location.

I refer to this functionality described in Neo Office Help
Strg-Alt-Cursor oben
Aktuellen Absatz oder markierte Absätze einen Absatz nach oben schieben.
(Strg)(Alt)(Cursor unten)
Aktuellen Absatz oder markierte Absätze einen Absatz nach unten verschieben. |

What happens if you use Cmd (Apple key) instead of Ctrl? |

That doesn't work either.
Same behavior in RetroOffice 2.2.3.
It works on OpenOffice 2.2.3 on a Windows machine.

This is the help section in English:
I could find no combination of keys in my en_GB installation that would trigger this behaviour in OSX.
hard_S, you said that you missed this functionality since patch 3 - what keys were you using to get it before that?
Meanwhile, if you want to assign this behaviour to your own choice of keyboard shortcut:
Go to Tools::Customise, and select the Keyboard tab
In the Category panel, select Numbering
To assign 'move active para up one (with its subpoints)' you need to choose the 2nd entry that's called Move Up in Subpoints (the 1st one doesn't seem to do anything), and assign it to a key combo.
Likewise with the 2nd Move Down in Subpoints to go the other way.
The toolbar has 2 buttons for each direction; my above instructions make a shortcut that does the equivalent of clicking the toolbar button that has a double arrow on it. I've no idea why there are two identically named options for each in the Customise panel - unless the 1st one of each, which does nothing, is supposed to move a para without its subpoints, which is what the single-arrow button does in the toolbar.
This is kind of messed up in OpenOffice, so it's probably inherited behaviour in NeoOffice. Even in OOo v3 beta, the 1st Move Down in Subpoints actually moves an item right with its subpoints, i.e. down a level, not down a paragraph. Weird.

Thanks for investigating this yoxi.What I found was that there are two things here:
1. The documentation is wrong. It should be Command-Alt-Up and Command-Alt-Down. This is another case where the OpenOffice.org documentation writer's hardcoded "Ctrl" in the help files instead of using their own standard of putting "if MAC "Command" else "Ctrl".
2. The Command-Alt-arrow keys stopped working in Patch 3 due to my fix for bug 3018. I was able to limit that fix so that it does not break the Command-Alt-arrow functionality.
I think that I have restored the Command-Alt-arrow functionality in the following test patch. Do the Command-Alt-arrow keys now work?:
PowerPC:
http://jane.neooffice.org/test/NeoOffice-2.2.3-Patch-6-Test-4-PowerPC.dmg
Intel:
http://jane.neooffice.org/test/NeoOffice-2.2.3-Patch-6-Test-4-Intel.dmg
On a side note, I reported bug 89005 in OpenOffice.org's IssueZilla and posted the solution for them. However, I have seen no response so I doubt OpenOffice.org is doing anything to fix these documentation bugs.
