Introduction

LibreOffice can be used without using a pointing device, for example mouse, trackpad, or trackball. For example, tasks as varied and complex as docking and undocking toolbars and windows, or changing size or position of objects can be carried out using keyboard shortcuts. LibreOffice has an extensive set of keyboard shortcuts with each LibreOffice module having keyboard shortcuts specific to that module.

For help with LibreOffice keyboard shortcuts, or using LibreOffice with a keyboard only, search the LibreOffice Help using the “shortcut” and/or “accessibility” as keywords.

Custom keyboard shortcuts can also be created in LibreOffice. For example, create keyboard shortcuts for standard LibreOffice functions or macros, then save the keyboard shortcut for future use. To create custom keyboard shortcuts, see the Getting Started Guide for more information.

Some keystrokes and menu items are different in macOS from keystrokes used in Windows or Linux operating systems. This due to the way the different operating systems work and the different types of keyboards used. Also, labelling on keyboards may vary depending on the age of a computer and style of keyboard being used.

A blank cell in any of the following tables indicates that a keyboard shortcut is not available for the computer operating system being used.
