How can I create a keyboard shortcut for highlighting text in LO Writer? – Ask LibreOffice

Jovan Stosic February 23, 2021

Highlighting text is not an “action” on text. It is an additional attribute on a character.

To achieve your goal, you must first define a character style with the specific colour selected as Background. Give a name to this style. You can now give it a keyboard shortcut.

This shortcut is not auto-toggling like Ctrl+B or I. I suggest you also associate a keyboard shortcut to character style Default Style so that you can cancel the effect of highlighting from the keyboard.

dm-crypt

Jovan Stosic February 23, 2021

dm-crypt is a transparent disk encryption subsystem in Linux kernel versions 2.6 and later and in DragonFly BSD. It is part of the device mapper infrastructure, and uses cryptographic routines from the kernel’s Crypto API. Unlike its predecessor cryptoloop, dm-crypt was designed to support advanced modes of operation, such as XTS, LRW and ESSIV (see disk encryption theory for further information), in order to avoid watermarking attacks. In addition to that, dm-crypt also addresses some reliability problems of cryptoloop.

dm-crypt is implemented as a device mapper target and may be stacked on top of other device mapper transformations. It can thus encrypt whole disks (including removable media), partitions, software RAID volumes, logical volumes, as well as files. It appears as a block device, which can be used to back file systems, swap or as an LVM physical volume.

Some Linux distributions support the use of dm-crypt on the root file system. These distributions use initrd to prompt the user to enter a passphrase at the console, or insert a smart card prior to the normal boot process.
