Published October 2023. Based on LibreOffice 7.6 Community.
Other versions of LibreOffice may differ in appearance and functionality.
LibreOffice can be used without requiring a pointing device, such as a mouse or trackball, by using the keyboard shortcuts that are available in Impress. For example, tasks such as docking and un-docking toolbars and windows, or changing the size or position of objects can all be carried out using keyboard shortcuts. Although LibreOffice has an extensive set of keyboard shortcuts, each LibreOffice module has keyboard shortcuts that are specific to that module. For help with LibreOffice keyboard shortcuts, or using LibreOffice with a keyboard only, search the LibreOffice Help using “shortcut” or “accessibility” as keywords.
In addition to using keyboard shortcuts that are listed in this appendix, keyboard shortcuts can also be user defined. Create keyboard shortcuts for standard Impress functions or macros and save them for use with Impress only, or with the other modules in LibreOffice. To customize keyboard shortcuts, see the Getting Started Guide for more information.
Some keystrokes and menu items are different on a macOS computer from those used in Windows or Linux computers. This due to the way different operating systems work and different types of keyboards used. Also, labelling on keyboards may vary depending on the age of the computer and style of keyboard being used. The following information shows the most common variations for keyboard shortcuts and keyboard labelling between Windows/Linux and macOS.
