Interesting. This provoked me to check it out on my new (10 days' ago) clean install of UbuntuStudio 16.04 LTS which has LibreOffice Version: 5.1.4.2 Build ID: 1:5.1.4-0ubuntu1. dt followed by F3 works fine and prints out a load of dummy text. > > So I looked into Tools>Customize and F3 was right there - and unassigned.

Ctrl+F1 takes me to desktop #1 and so on for all the Ctrl+F(n) combos up to the 6 desktops I use. I never realized I could change desktops that way because I always change desktop using Crtl+Alt+ left or right arrow key. And when I check the UbuntuStudio settings manager for the Window Manager keyboard shortcuts, the Ctrl+F(n) are indeed shown there. Curious how it all varies from version to version. You live and learn.
