function key behavior

users
#1

Good morning
I did have this problem before.
LibreOffice installed on linux machine (right now the particular
distribution is xubuntu 14.04, rather high-spec machine).
On my Windows computers F11 calls up the "style menu".
Now, on this linux installation it HAS to be Shift+F11 (some other
function keys act similar)

On another (old) computer I succeeded solving the problem by changing
"function key behavior" under the BIOS setting.
This does not work this time.
First, this computer's BIOS does not show such a setting.
Second, I have TWO user profiles on the computer, one newly set up.
Under the first user profile F11 works as expected.
The second user profile requires said Shift+F11.

So .. this cannot be a BIOS issue, right?
I tried to find something under "Options", no success.

What am I missing?
Is there somewhere a setting, where I can set the function key behavior
to the one I am used to (the one that works under Windows)?

Thank you in advance.
Thomas

Hello Thomas,

Look in Tools menu, Customise..., Keyboard tab. There you'll find a
list of commands and the keystrokes to call them.

Hi Thomas

LibreOffice installed on linux machine (right now the particular

On Xubuntu 14.10 key F11 works just fine for "Styles and Formatting".
Just out of the box. LibreOffice Version: 4.3.3.2. So I guess an update
is an option.
