Description johannjanzen 2015-01-14 21:12:21 UTC 
This is an Idea I miss in Libreoffice Writer EDITING: Like in MS Word you should be able to use the keyboard shortcut/keywords CTRL+> to increase the fontsize and use CTRL+< to decrease the fontsize by default. (Just similar to the function, that I can use CTRL+b to make the font bold or CTRL+i to make it italic and so on.)

Could you please implement this feature in a future release?

Sounds plausible, so
Status -> NEW

Handing to the UX Team to weigh-in.

I think we have implemented Ctrl+[ / ]
(not too long ago, don't remember when)

So Johann, thanks for the report, but pls try those ;)
Set as WorksForMe

Cheers,
Cor

You can change the key binding in the customization dialog (tools > customize). Switch to tab Keyboard, select Format from Category, select Increase Font/Reduce Font in Function, choose the Shortcut in the upper list and apply with Modify.
Unfortunately there is no key combination with ctrl+</> available. But I wouldn't use it anyway since less-then on a German keyboard means to press shift+ctrl+>... and I'd have to unknot my fingers afterwards.
