Introduction

You can use LibreOffice without requiring a pointing device, such as a mouse or touchpad, by

using its built-in keyboard shortcuts.

This appendix lists some of the most common built-in keyboard shortcuts that apply to all

components of LibreOffice. For shortcuts specific to Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, or Base, read the

relevant component guide or search the application Help.

Note

Some of the shortcuts listed here may not work if your operating system uses the same

shortcuts for other tasks.

To resolve any conflicts, assign different keys to these shortcuts by reconfiguring either

LibreOffice (see Chapter 14) or your operating system (see system documentation).

Assistive tools in LibreOffice

In addition to keyboard shortcuts, LibreOffice supports some assistive technology tools like screen

magnification software, screen readers, and on-screen keyboards. Please note that accessibility

support relies on Java technology for communications with assistive technology tools. This means

that the first program startup may take a few seconds longer, because the Java runtime

environment has to be started as well.

A current list of supported assistive tools can be found on the Wiki at

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Accessibility.
