Shortcut Keys for Drawing Objects
You can create and edit drawing objects using the keyboard.
Some of the shortcut keys may be assigned to your desktop system. Keys that are assigned to the desktop system are not available to LibreOffice. Try to assign different keys either for LibreOffice, in \<emph\>Tools - Customize - Keyboard\</emph\>, or in your desktop system.

If there is an arrow next to the icon, the drawing tool opens a sub toolbar.
