Figure 321. Defining keyboard shortcuts for applying styles
5) Choose the category of style. (This example uses a paragraph style, but you
can also choose character styles and others.) The Function list will display the
names of the available styles for the selected category. The example shows
some of OOo’s predefined styles.
6) To assign Ctrl+9 to be the shortcut key combination for the List 1 style, select
List 1 in the Function list, and then click Modify. Ctrl+9 now appears in the
Keys list on the right, and List 1 appears next to Ctrl+9 in the Shortcut keys
box at the top.
7) Make any other required changes, and then click OK to save these settings
and close the dialog.
Saving changes to a file
Changes to the shortcut key assignments can be saved in a keyboard configuration
file for use at a later time, thus permitting you to create and apply different
configurations as the need arises. To save keyboard shortcuts to a file:
1) After making your keyboard shortcut assignments, click the Save button at the
right of the Customize dialog (Figure 321).
2) In the Save Keyboard Configuration dialog, select All files from the
Save as Type list.
