function key behavior
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

The LibreOffice version from the Ubuntu repositories or did you do a fresh
install with the debs from their download page?
By the way, this list is mainly for Apache OpenOffice, not LibreOffice.

I'm not sure but I think I remember that the Ubuntu version has slightly
different settings.
I have Ubuntu 14.04 myself, and I erased the pre-installed LibreOffice from
the system and installed the official LibreOffice debs from their download
page, and when pressing F11 I get the styles window, just like in Apache
OpenOffice.

In [Tools → Customise → Keyboard] you can set any key to do whatever you
want, even run a macro if you like.
