About LibreOffice Writer and its shortcuts
Writer is LibreOffice's word processor, and its strength is long structured documents: styles, outline levels, cross references, the navigator and field commands. The style commands are the ones worth learning, because Writer is built on the assumption that you format with styles rather than by hand.
Shortivo publishes the Windows list. LibreOffice offers an alternative key set for people coming from other word processors, and some commands depend on whether the cursor is in the body, a table or a frame.
