Re: [libreoffice-users] Suggestion: Change the zoom with Ctrl+ Plus(+) and Minus(-) Key shortcuts

No need to wait for a software update - you should be able to customise your keyboard shortcuts to do almost anything: - From the menu: Tools > Customise - Open the "Keyboard" tab - In the list of shortcut keys in the top half, select "Ctrl++" (it's already assigned to do something else on my setup, but you can change that) - From the functions list, select: - Category: View - Function: Zoom In - Click "Modify", and Ctrl++ should now be assigned to zoom in rather than whatever it did before Do likewise for Ctrl+- and Zoom Out. You can assign keyboard shortcuts to work across all LibreOffice applications by selecting the "LibreOffice" to the right of the shortcut keys list rather than the single application name. However, you may have to remove application-specific assignments (e.g. for me, by default, Ctrl++ is assigned to "Bring Forwards" in Impress, to "Calculate" in Writer and to "Insert Cells" in Calc - those shortcuts would override any LibreOffice global shortcut unless I removed them.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Suggestion: Change the zoom with Ctrl+ Plus(+) and Minus(-) Key shortcuts
Hi :) Good post! Thanks :) This is a good first place to ask about almost anything. If we don't know or if we think other places might want to have their say then we can always "signpost you" but people on this list might also carry on discussing the issues here too. I think a lot of us, especially new people here, don't quite realise all the different teams that work on different things in LibreOffice. So signposting helps us let people know of other ways they might be able to get involved with LibreOffice. I noticed that Ctrl and mouse-wheel does zoom in and out. So presumably it might not be too tough to add the Ctrl and + or - to do the same thing. I suspect that if you use Gnu&Linux you might be able to reconfigure your own keyboard or create keyboard-short-cuts as a temporary work-around but it would be much nicer to have the feature properly implemented in LibreOffice. It is possible to post "feature requests" but the way we do that is by using the same system as we use for bug-reporting and that feels a bit strange sometimes. It is the most efficient way even though it seems odd. So the guide on posting bug-reports is somewhat useful but asks for things that you obviously don't need to give for a feature request. Then one of the drop-downs has "feature request" as one of it's options. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport Regards from Tom :) From: logos To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Wednesday, 4 September 2013, 10:42 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Suggestion: Change the zoom with Ctrl+ Plus(+) and Minus(-) Key shortcuts Hello.
