LibreOffice 25.2 Help
A great deal of your application's functionality can be called up by using shortcut keys. For example, the shortcut keys are shown next to the Open entry in the menu. If you want to access this function by using the shortcut keys, press and hold down and then press the O key. Release both keys after the dialog appears.

You can enter arbitrary Unicode characters in the document typing the Unicode hexadecimal code point and then pressing (default). Type the Unicode hexadecimal notation and press to toggle between the Unicode character and its hexadecimal notation. Selection is not necessary but the conversion will apply to the selected characters. Toggling occurs on the characters prior to the cursor position when these characters form a valid Unicode hexadecimal point. Hexadecimal code points with value in the range U+0000 to U+0020 are not converted.
The default Unicode conversion shortcut is and in some locales where the default Unicode shortcut interferes with the main menu shortcut. To reassign the shortcut, choose and select Category:Options with Function:Toggle Unicode Notation.
There is always one element highlighted in any given dialog - usually shown by a broken frame. This element, which can be either a button, an option field, an entry in a list box or a check box, is said to have the focus on it. If the focal point is a button, pressing Enter runs it as if you had clicked it. A check box is toggled by pressing the Spacebar. If an option field has the focus, use the arrow keys to change the activated option field in that area. Use the Tab key to go from one element or area to the next one, use Shift+Tab to go in the reverse direction.
Pressing Esc closes the dialog without saving changes.
If you are using drag-and-drop, selecting with the mouse or clicking objects and names, you can use the keys Shift, and occasionally to access additional functionality. The modified functions available when holding down keys during drag-and-drop are indicated by the mouse pointer changing form. When selecting files or other objects, the modifier keys can extend the selection - the functions are explained where applicable.

Use +A to select the entire text. Use the right or left arrow key to remove the selection.

Dirree ciicata barruu keessatti sadi-cuqaasuun diirree hundaa fila. Galmee barruu keessatti sadi-cuqaasuun hima ammeefe fila.
Use +Del to delete everything from the cursor position to the end of the word.
By using and right or left arrow key, the cursor will jump from word to word; if you also hold down the Shift key, one word after the other is selected.
INSRT is used to switch between the insert mode and the overwrite mode and back again.
Harkisuu-fi-kaa'umsafayyaduu kan danda'uu barruu sanduuqaa walinii fi isaan alatti.
The +Z shortcut keys are used to undo modifications one step at a time; the text will then have the status it had before the first change.
LibreOffice has an AutoComplete function which activates itself in some text and list boxes. For example, enter into the URL field and the AutoComplete function displays the first file or first directory found that starts with the letter "a".
Use the Down Arrow key to scroll through the other files and directories. Use the Right Arrow key to also display an existing subdirectory in the URL field. Quick AutoComplete is available if you press the End key after entering part of the URL. Once you find the document or directory you want, press Enter.
If you want to terminate a macro that is currently running, press +Shift+Q.
The shortcut keys are shown on the right hand side of the menu lists next to the corresponding menu command.
