Issue 12171

yeah, not really a defect, but i agree.

MS Office also has Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+] to change the size up and down 
by just one point. These key-bindings aren't available either.

You can create custom keyboard mappings for changing the font size by
going to:

Tools->Configure->Keyboard

Inside the Format category there is a function to Increase Font.

Enhancement request


Default keyboard shortcut to increase and decrease font size

plus support for addition key mappings to:
 Ctrl+] Ctrl+[
 Ctrl+< Ctrl+>
 Ctrl+`
 Ctrl+\

The request is to add more shortcut key in default, without user add
it manually. which many people didnt want to do it 

The shortcut is not the big problem, that I can see, 'cause I can create my  
custom hotkeys...  
but I can't configure the OOo to increase/decrease one  by one in value of 
font size... just two by two (from 10 to 12, from 12 to 14 and vice-versa) 
this is a really annoying issue... 
the issues #7524 and #8824 asks the same thing, but I don't know if it is be 
watching for someone...

I understand from Issue 7915 that there are some cross-platform issues, but
nonetheless, shortcut keys in general seem overly limited compared to MS Office.
 MSO offers the Alt key, for example, which instantly cubes the number of
available combinations.  Punctuation keys are also available, such as the
Ctrl+Shift+> and Ctrl+Shift+< mentioned earlier.  I would like to second
TristanB's proposal, and make my vote also for the Alt key.  

Adding cross-reference (_not_ dupe) to Issue 8824.

That is the fist issue I discovered with OO. The biggest problem for me is 
that I'm so used with MS Word short keys like Ctrl+Shift+P(Font Size). I 
discovered analoque shortcut key missing in OO. There is possible to set 
shortcut key only to Character window.
The biggest advantage of Ctrl+Shift+P like shortcut key is that it moves the 
cursor to the ObjectBar and this is much faster than to open each time 
Character window.

duplicate to issue 28016

I'm not keeping this one because issue 28016 focuses on the "default shortcut"
thing and doesn't have too much comments so that it can be read more quickly
than this one.

So sum this issue up:

* request to acutally use <ctrl>+[ or other combinations is issue 4756
* request to change font-size one by one (and working properly with selections
  that contain different font-sizes) is issue 8824

@ yksmees: please file a new issue regarding a request to directly jump to the
font-size-selection-dropdown
one problem -> one issue please.

As you can see there are 4 problems mentioned in this issue. This makes issue
handling more complicated than necessary. Furthermore this issue has the wrong
type and a wrong version set (I wonder how you managed to get "1" in there),
therefore I'll close this one instead of 28016 although this one is older.
Please transfer your votes.

PS: And please don't add "me too" comments (use your votes instead[1]) and more
important: don't make the issue mutate like "well, thinking of "this" I remember
"that".." - try to keep the issues as focused as possible. File a new issue for
each problem. You can (and should) of course add a comment like "I filed issue
<number> reagrading 'the related problem'".

[1] with votes I mean real votes, using the "Vote for this issue" link above the
comment input box, not a comment that says "I vote for this issue" :-))

closing duplicate.
(and please don't see my comment as a angry rant but only as an advice for the
future)
