Tried just the other day with the latest OO on Fedora. Maybe its keeping keyboard configs from earlier installs. Will have a look at the mappings.
I realize that there was probably a solution all along, but thought this a good example of why people don't use some OSS. Sometimes a simple feature is the first thing you check and if its doesn't work out of the box you might not have the time, interest, ability, etc. to investigate the fix. In my case it was time/interest...to easy to open Excel. Take Excel away & my motivations change, but I generally use it for for quick coding calc checks or for data manipulation prior to loading into Postgres and its 2nd nature to do that in Excel.
