Bug Description
In Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with Unity, various standard keyboard shortcuts have pointlessly vanished. Some favourite examples include:
* alt+I+R -- insert rows in Calc
* alt+I+R -- insert cross-Reference in Writer
* alt+O+H -- format character in Writer
Meanwhile, in some cases, new menu entries have been added which take over the old shortcuts, and the underline has been removed from the old/standard shortcut. I would really like to know the thinking behind this -- shortcuts like this are wired into the DNA of long-standing users, and it's a ongoing source of irritation when ALT+KEY shortcuts are randomly rearranged.

John Pye, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
Regarding the keyboard shortcuts having been changed, I've also noticed this, and found it confusing that it has been changed.
Regarding the speed of typing determines menu responsiveness, this is a separate issue, for a separate report.
Despite this, regarding the keyboard shortcut changes, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one. Could you please send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at http://
