Calc + "Find" in Linux

users
#1

Good evening
This morning the HDD in my production machine died on me.
Now I am trying to hold out for a while using a Linux Mint 17.2
installation (on an old computer).

I noticed on THAT particular machine (not on the old windows machine I
have in my clinic nor on a notebook running also Mint 17.2)
the key combination "Ctrl + F" does not work in Calc.
I can click the function in the menu, but the keys do not work.
The menu has the same "Ctrl + F" for BOTH just "Find" as well as "Find
and Replace".
But that is on all my machines so.

Is there a trick to make the "Ctrl + F" work = display the "Find and
Replace" dialog box (in the middle of the screen)?

If so, please tell me how to achieve that.
Thank you.

At some point the hotkey for Find & Replace changed to Ctrl+H /maybe the
information in the menus was not updated in the LibreOffice version you are
using now (it is correct in 5.1.1.3)?
In any case you should be able to use Tools > Customize > Keyboard to select
any keyboard combination to any function...

Hope this helps.
