Publication date and software version
Published May 2021. Based on LibreOffice 7.1 Community.
Other versions of LibreOffice may differ in appearance and functionality.
Introduction
You can use Calc without a pointing device, such as a mouse or touchpad, by using keyboard shortcuts. This appendix provides a comprehensive reference list of the available built-in shortcuts, which you can browse to find ones that may be useful in your daily work.
When you first install LibreOffice, a default set of Calc keyboard shortcuts is available. These are described in this chapter, assuming no customization. When using Calc, you can discover shortcuts for common interactions by observing the key sequences identified on the menu options and in the tooltips of toolbar icons. You can also explore a more comprehensive list of shortcuts by viewing the Keyboard tab of the Customize dialog (Tools > Customize).
Further information about many individual key combinations can be found throughout the chapters of this guide and in the Help system.
You can define your own shortcuts or change existing shortcuts by going to Tools > Customize > Keyboard on the Menu bar. See Chapter 14, Setting up and Customizing, for further instructions. Some shortcuts cannot be re-assigned; these are identified in the “Keyboard shortcuts that cannot be modified” sections on pages 1 (Windows / Linux) and 1 (macOS).
Caution
Be careful when reassigning predefined shortcuts. Although you can reset shortcut keys back to LibreOffice defaults, changing common hotkeys, such as F1 for Help, can cause confusion and frustration, especially if other users share your computer.
Note
Different operating systems may allocate particular keys to operating system functions and, in such cases, those keys may not perform the Calc functions described in this appendix.
For example, the F1 function key may be used to put your Windows computer into a sleep / hibernation mode and so cannot be used to access the Calc Help system. For some macOS versions, the Cmd+F5 key sequence is used by macOS to display its VoiceOver dialog and so cannot be used to control the display of Calc’s Sidebar. Similarly the Shift+F11 key sequence may be used by macOS to show its desktop and so cannot be used to access Calc’s Save as Template dialog.
Check your computer system’s documentation to determine which key presses are used by the operating system and hence cannot carry out Calc functions.
The remainder of this chapter is in two main sections, one listing the keyboard shortcuts available in the Windows and Linux environments, and the other listing the macOS keyboard shortcuts.
Windows / Linux keyboard shortcuts
Note
Many of the keyboard shortcuts in this section use the Ctrl key. Some keyboards have two Ctrl keys and in that case you may need to experiment to identify which of the two keys to use.
Keyboard shortcuts for Menu bar options and toolbars
Tables 1 to 4 list Calc keyboard shortcuts that can be used instead of the options on the Menu bar, the Standard toolbar, or the Formatting toolbar. The toolbars are assumed to contain the initial default set of icons, without any user customization.
