In ms-office-word shortcut-key for special characters can be applied as following:

enter image description here

But now I am using Libre-office Which is pre-installed with Ubuntu! and want to put shortcut-key for special characters. But there is not such option available:

enter image description here

It is difficult for me to write every-time with Unicode Ctrl+Uthen055thenEnter(0055 is only example for U which is not special-character).

Thus, Help me to add shortcut-key or any other method as I am leaving ms-office and working with libre-office Version: 4.2.3.3 (open-source and pre-installed with Ubuntu 14.04)

I don't know how to solve this with the built in tools.

Nevertheless, I use AutoKey to insert text snippets like my address system wide. I guess you could just add a snippet containing the special character and set up a shortcut for it. AutoKey offers a lot of configuration possibilities for triggering snippets.

As my system is broken in the moment, I can't test it. Hope it helps anyways.

  • The snippets I am talking about are actually called "Phrases" in AutoKey. Here is a nice tutorial: http://saravananthirumuruganathan.wordpress.com/2010/04/14/autokey-linux-utility-for-text-substitution-hotkeys-and-desktop-automation/ – Joshua Gleitze May 14 '14 at 12:28
