Appendix A, Keyboard Shortcuts | 3

Introduction
LibreOffice can be used without requiring a pointing device, such as a mouse or trackball, byusing the keyboard shortcuts that are available in Draw. Tasks as varied and complex as docking
and un-docking toolbars and windows, or changing the size or position of objects can all beaccomplished with using keyboard shortcuts. Although LibreOffice has an extensive set of
keyboard shortcuts, each LibreOffice module has keyboard shortcuts that are specific to thatmodule.
For help with LibreOffice keyboard shortcuts, or using LibreOffice with a keyboard only, search
the LibreOffice Help using the “shortcut” or “accessibility” keywords.
In addition to using keyboard shortcuts that are listed in this appendix, keyboard shortcuts canalso be defined. Assign keyboard shortcuts to standard Impress functions or macros and savethem for use with Draw only, or with the other modules in LibreOffice. To customize keyboard
shortcuts, see the Getting Started Guide for more information.

Note
Some keyboard shortcuts are not available for computers using macOS and are
indicated in the following tables by a blank cell.
