Adding keyboard shortcuts
You can add keyboard shortcuts to LibreOffice to make creating documents much easier and to
match your workflow. Below is an example of how to add a keyboard shortcut for inserting a Math
formula into a LibreOffice document.
Note
When selecting new keyboards shortcuts, make sure that you do not select a keyboard
shortcut that is already in use by LibreOffice or your computer system. For example,
the keyboard combination Shift+Ctrl+F2 in Calc moves the cursor to the input line
where you can enter a Calc formula in the selected cell, NOT a Math formula.
Example keyboard shortcut
1) Go to Tools > Customize on the main menu bar to open the Customize dialog (Figure 20).
2) Click on the Keyboard tab to access the options available for adding keyboard shortcuts.
3) Select the level of the new keyboard shortcut.
– Select LibreOffice so that the new keyboard shortcut can be used in all modules of
LibreOffice.
– Select Math to use the new keyboard shortcut in Math only.
4) In the Category list, select Insert.
5) In the Function list, select Import Formula.
6) In the Shortcut Keys list, select the key or keyboard combination that you want to use for
your new keyboard shortcut.
7) Click Modify and your keyboard shortcut will appear in the Keys list.
8) If necessary, continue to add keyboard shortcuts using the above steps.
9) Click OK to save your keyboard shortcuts and close the Customize dialog.
