Example: Assigning styles to shortcut keys
You can configure shortcut keys to quickly assign styles in your document. Some shortcuts are predefined, such as Ctrl+1 for the Heading 1 paragraph style and Ctrl+2 for Heading 2. You can modify these shortcuts and create your own.
- Click Tools > Customize > Keyboard. The Keyboard page of the Customize dialog opens.
- To have the shortcut key assignment available only with one component (for example, Writer), select that component’s name in the upper right corner of the page; otherwise select OpenOffice.org button to make it available to every component.
- Choose the shortcut keys you want to assign a style to. In this example, we have chosen Ctrl+9.
- In the Functions section at the bottom of the dialog, scroll down in the Category list to Styles. Click the + sign to expand the list of styles.
- Choose the category of style (our example uses a paragraph style). The Function list will display the names of the available styles for the selected category. The example shows some of OOo’s predefined styles.
- To assign Ctrl+9 to be the shortcut key combination for the Text Body style, select Text Body in the Function list, and then click Modify. Ctrl+9 now appears in the Keys list.
- Make any other required changes, and then click OK to save these settings and close the dialog.
