Customizing shortcut keys

Customizing shortcut keys requires a different procedure from that used in Microsoft Office. In OOo use the following steps:

  1. Tools > Customize > Keyboard tab.

  2. On the Keyboard tab of the Customize dialog (Figure 3), select the desired shortcut key in the top list box labeled Shortcut keys.

  • Select the Category, for the command, and the actual Function in the bottom list boxes.

  • In the top right corner of the dialog, select whether the shortcut key is to be OOo-wide or just for the current application (Writer for example).

  • Click Modify.

    Note

    The Alt key is not available for shortcut keys. A macro that overcomes this limitation is in AltKeyHandler.sxw, available from http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/.
