Using Shortcut Keys in Collabora Office Impress

Some of the shortcut keys may be assigned to your desktop system. Keys that are assigned to the desktop system are not available to Collabora Office. Try to assign different keys either for Collabora Office, in Tools - Customize - Keyboard, or in your desktop system.

You can use the keyboard to access Collabora Office Impress commands as well as to navigate through the workspace. Collabora Office Impress uses the same shortcut keys as Collabora Office Draw to create drawing objects.

Selecting placeholders

Collabora Office Impress AutoLayouts use placeholders for slide titles, text, and objects. To select a placeholder, press Ctrl+Enter. To move to the next placeholder, press Ctrl+Enter again.

If you press Ctrl+Enter after you reach the last placeholder in a slide, a new slide is inserted after the current slide. The new slide uses the same layout as the current slide.
