Keystroke Shortcuts in Writer

[Desert-Rat]

In LO 4.3.6.2, how can I create a keyboard shortcut so that if I change a font I can use the keystroke to return to the default font?

I saw in Tools/Customize/Keyboard that Command F was not assigned, but I don’t know how to set that up as the shortcut I want?

Hi

If you changed the font with the Format menu or Font Name drop-down list on the toolbar, no need to create a shortcut. There is a default shortcut to return to the default font (the current style): Ctrl+M

Thank you very much…worked perfectly!!

Nice! Just consider that Ctrl+M will erase all direct formatting, including paragraph attributes like centering and line spacing.

@alvarezp - Simply select the text to limit the effect to the selection

You can assign the keyboard shortcut to the execution of a macro.

1. Follow the instructions at Recording a Macro from the LibreOffice Help to create a macro that sets the current font to the one of your choosing.

2. As you tried before, use Tools » Customize » Keyboard to set Command + F to run the resulting macro.
