Equivalent of Alt in Microsoft Office

  • 772

I usually press Alt in Microsoft Word or Excel so I get a label with the next key to all the menu functions (see picture with keyboard labels when pressing Alt in Word).

Is there any equivalent for LibreOffice? It would really help me to learn&use the keyboard shortcuts.

  2. Alt has the same function in LibreOffice as it does in any other application. The underlined letters show what happens when you press that key.

    LO 5.3 and newer has an experimental feature called MUFFIN that looks like the MS Ribbon interface.

    However, currently Alt is tricky to use with MUFFIN. For example, click on Find & Replace and then close it. Now the MUFFIN bar has the focus, so you can press Alt+v to open Nav̲igator.
