Keyboard shortcuts are essential for any Mac user looking to quicken the speed of their workflow. By giving you quicker navigation they make the whole process of using a Mac far easier. Recently, on Tuts+ Computer Skills we covered 40 Nifty Shortcuts to Make Your Life Easier, a tutorial which explained everyday OS X keyboard shortcuts.

Hi,

I'm switching over from MS Office and am used to using alt-shit-up/down to rearrange the order of bullets.

I've found references in Libre Office to Ctrl-Alt-Up/Down shortcuts being configured for 'Move Up' and 'Move Down' however these don't seem to work with bullets (or anything else I've tried).

There is a chance that some other application on my system is intercepting these shortcut keys (I've already disabled the controls from the Intel video driver for changing screen orientation). I'm running Windows 8.1.

Can anyone let me know if these shortcut keys should work to rearrange bullets, and if not, then is there a way to replicate the alt-shift-up/down behavior from MS Word?

Yep, and if you don't want to go off the main keys you could create an
AutoCorrect item to substitute, say, 'bb' with an Option-8 bullet as soon as
you hit the tab key.

For further reading, if you're interested, check out 'Examples of
AutoCorrect items I靶e assigned' on page 85 of some notes on the way I use
Word for the Mac, titled 'Bend Word to Your Will', which are available as a
free download from the Word MVPs' website
(http://word.mvps.org/Mac/Bend/BendWordToYourWill.html).

What Are Bullet Points

[Note: 'Bend Word to your will' is designed to be used electronically and
most subjects are self-contained dictionary-style entries. If you decide to
read more widely than the item I've referred to, it's important to read the
front end of the document -- especially pages 3 and 5 -- so you can select
some Word settings that will allow you to use the document effectively.]
