What really needs to be assignable to shortcut keys is *character*
styles. I like the concept of character styles but I find them
cumbersome to use. Compare the ease of hitting CNTL-B for bold or
CNTL-U for underline to all the double-clicking you need to do to
assign (and un-assign at the end of the word) a character style that
does the same thing.
In 1.9.x you can assign key shortcuts to character styles.
For 1.1.x you can use my AlyKeyHandlet or KeyHandler macros available
from: http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/hillview/OOo/

Thanks, Ian
Ian is right, all five types of styles can be assigned via keyboard
shortcut in 2.0. Sweet!
Cool, I'll have to try it. I was sticking to 1.1.4 when I was doing my
term papers and such the last few weeks so I didn't notice that
development.
Wishlist item: Take this one step further and make keyboard assignment
of Styles available through either or both of:
1. Context menu when you right click on a style in the Stylist window.
2. On the Organizer tab of the style dialog.
Another thing I've wished for is a character style drop-box on the
toolbar like the one for paragraph styles. That's another big reason for
me that paragraph styles are easier to use than character styles. As it
is there is no indication of which character style is currently in
effect unless the Stylist window is open and often I would like to
collapse it to regain screen real estate.
But I'll definitely take what I can get. I concur: Sweet!
