Description: LibreOffice has a [helpful page](https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/lo/text/scalc/04/01020000.html) with a list of keyboard shortcuts for Calc. Unfortunately some (or all?) of these don't appear in the menu of customizable keyboard hotkeys that you can access from the Tools > Customize dialog. It seems that there is no way to customize or disable these keyboard shortcuts. [A related question]https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/disable-option-arrow-keyboard-shortcut-in-order-to-move-cursor-by-word-in-cell-edit-mode/78110). In my particular case, I would like to customize / remove the shortcuts Option + Left/Right Arrow and Option + Shift + Left/Right Arrow on MacOS. These keyboard shortcuts are used for text navigation in every other application, I use them heavily, and I find that I unwantedly trigger the cell resize feature all the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the keyboard shortcuts menu from the menu bar: Tools > Customize ... 2. Look for the keyboard shortcuts Option + Left/Right Arrow and Option + Shift + Left/Right Arrow. Actual Results: These keyboard shortcuts show as having no function that can be customized. Expected Results: The keyboard shortcuts from the "Shortcut Keys for Spreadsheets" page should show their assigned functions, to be removed or customized.

You're right about these keyboard shortcuts do having meaning in MacOS. The default functions are: Option + left/right arrow: move the cursor one word to the left/right Option + shift + left/right arrow: extend the text selection one word to the left/right You can see both of these functions in any simple editable text area in MacOS, like Textedit, or a <textarea> element in the browser. You can also see the text selection feature with non-editable text in the browser, try selecting a word and then use option + shift + arrow to manipulate the selection. The above shortcuts do something else entirely in Calc though (manipulating cell size), and there seems to be no way to unbind these keyboard shortcuts in Calc to restore the default/system behaviour.
