One other thing to try: restart LibreOffice in safe mode by selecting the Help
> Restart in Safe Mode. Then, in the dialog that appears, check the "Reset to
factory settings" checkbox as well as the 2 checkbox below that checkbox and
press the "Apply Changes and Restart" button.

Why this may help: I did a little test and set the "move to next window"
shortcut to Command-a. Then, if I restart LibreOffice, Safari, etc. and open
two windows, Command-a does not work in any application that has an Edit >
Select All with Command-a as its shortcut. In both Safari and LibreOffice,
pressing Command-a causes the Edit menu to flash in the menubar and, if any
text is selected, the text is selected.

What is going on: when you press a Command shortcut, macOS looks for a match in
the active application's menus. Only if a match is *not* found, does macOS look
a the system preferences settings for a shortcut match.

Resetting LibreOffice's settings clears any custom shortcuts that you may have
modified that might be intercepting the Command-< shortcut. Since I could not
reproduce the bug even with the German language pack running German UI, I
assume that, at least in Writer, the LibreOffice 24.8.4 German language pack
does *not* set any menu shortcuts to Command-< but I didn't test Calc or
Impress.
