Libre Office 4.2.8.2: Making Outlined Notes: Keybinding Arrow Menu Items

Libre Office Version: 4.2.8.2 Build ID: 420m0(Build:2)

Linux Mint 17 Qiana

Cinnamon Desktop

I’m interested in typing outlined notes.

I found these very clear and useful directions for how to do that “here
I would like not to have to use the floating tool bar with the arrow keys to change the outline level of a new line.

The “tab” key works great for going to a lower outline level, but the “backspace” key doesn’t.

Can I change the behavior of the “backspace” key while in outlining mode?

If not, can I bind the commands in the arrows on the tool bar to the arrow keys on my keyboard or another key?

Thanks much either way.

Libre Office has really improved nicely since the last time I used it.

My compliments

Steve
