Hello!
Could someone please help me figure out how to change the Writer shortcut so that it is NOT Command (⌘)-mouse/trackpad?
I don’t see it listed in the Customize tool, but often when I’m trying to save (⌘-s) I find myself accidentally zooming in instead.
In the Customize tool, when I click “View” under “Categories” and “Zoom In” under “Function,” the “Keys” box/column is blank.
I’m using LibreOffice version 6.2.8.2 on a MacBook running OS 10.14.6.
Thank you!
Hello,
if under Keys you don’t see a key, then there is no shortcut associated. Select a desired (unused) shortcut from the pane above and click button Modify → you’ll see the (new assigned) entry under Keys.
If you want delete a shortcut, select the shortcut in the upper pane and use Delete button.
And please note: There may be shortcuts, which are defined on the operating system/desktop manager level and cannot be changed from within LibreOffice.
Hope that helps.

Thank you! I followed these steps and assigned “Zoom in” and “Zoom out” to other keys, but the application is still zooming in when I’m pressing ⌘ and resting my fingers on the trackpad. I checked operating system level gestures and can’t identify any that would be causing that; it also seems only to be happening in LibreOffice, not in other applications.
Could there be any other explanation or setting to change?
Thank you!!!
There’s always a chance that LibreOffice user profile is corrupt. To test if user profile causing issue:
Help -> Restart in Safe Mode and confirm the restart using button: Restart
Advanced (click on the word Advanced right above Help button) and click Archive User Profile buttonContinue in Safe Mode
If the problem is gone in Safe Mode most likely your user profile is corrupt and you should reset - see also here
Thank you so much! It was very helpful to learn about Safe Mode.
I restarted in Safe Mode and tested this again — ⌘ plus my fingers on the trackpad continues to zoom in and out (only in LibreOffice; in other windows or applications, that just scrolls up and down if I have two fingers on the trackpad).
Any other ideas of things to try?
Update: I found this discussion of the problem (or a related one) and tried changing the Mac OS System Preferences setting they suggest in Accessibility. Hasn’t yet seemed to have had an effect — even after restarting, ⌘-trackpad continues to zoom in LibreOffice.
Ah, it seems that this is a known and unsolved problem for Mac users: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46429
