Keyboard shortcut to change font color in Libreoffice to a specific color
I have to do a fair amount of writing in red and black in the same document. In MS Office I would set a keyboard shortcut to switch between colors so I don’t have to take my hands off the keyboard. Something like Alt+R for red and Alt+B for black.
How can I set up something similar in LibreOffice Writer? I’ve poked around in Tools → Customize → Keyboard, but I can’t figure it out.
Muru’s suggestion is close, but use Character styles, not Paragraph styles.
-
Press F11 and click the icon for Character styles.
-
Right-click Default Style, select New…, and change the font color to red. In the Organizer, name the font color
Red, then press OK. -
Go to Tools → Customize, select the Keyboard tab, find Alt+R and select it.
-
Under Categories, choose Styles/Character. Under Function, select Red. Then click the Modify button.
-
The Character Style for the Default Style is already black, so assign it to Alt+B and press OK.
-
Finally, select words and press Alt+R.
