Is there a keyboard shortcut for adding an entry to the index of an Libre Office Writer document? Using Insert - Table of Contents and Index - Index Entry is "unconvinient".
What keyboard shortcuts would you like to have for these operations?
Look in Tools - Customize - Keyboard tab - there are a lot of keyboard shortcuts that are NOT ASSIGNED to any actions, choose any that seem comfortable to you.
Now in the Functions field write Table o - this is enough to see the Table of Contents command in the Function field. Highlight the desired keyboard shortcut, select the desired command (now it's easy, now it's one), click Modify.
Now in the Functions field write Index.
Assign a keyboard shortcut for each of the eight found commands (or just those you intend to use).
Now the hardest part is to remember these keyboard shortcuts and use them.

In VS Code, pressing Shift+Command+L creates a cursor for every occurrences strings and you can modify them all at once. Is there a similar shortcut for the JetBrains IDEs such as Intellij IDEA?
Yes there is. You can read more about ways to create multiple cursors and selection ranes on their dedicated help page: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/multicursor.html (I'll use links for the Intellij IDEA help pages, but you the instructions should be similar for all the IDEs in the JetBrains family. To get the help pages for a specific one, visit their general help page, then select an IDE, and then use the search function to search "multicursor").
In particular, see this section named "Select multiple occurrences of a word or a text range" Here's an excerpt when the Shortcuts mode is set to "Windows" (visit that link and switch the shortcut mode to whichever platform you are on)
If you want to select words, set your caret at an occurrence of the desired word. Otherwise, select the desired range with the mouse or with keyboard shortcuts.
If you want to select words, set your caret at an occurrence of the desired word. Otherwise, select the desired range with the mouse or with keyboard shortcuts.
Do one of the following:
Successively press Alt+J to find and select the next occurrence of case-sensitively matching word or text range.
Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+J to select all case-sensitively matching words or text ranges in the document.
To remove selection from the last selected occurrence, press Alt+Shift+J.
After the second or any consecutive selection was added with Alt+J, you can skip it and select the next occurrence with F3. To return the selection to the lastly skipped occurrence, press Shift+F3.
Other functions include:
You can do it with the mouse while holding Alt+Shift+Click the target location to add another caret. You can Alt+Shift+Click one of the existing carets to remove it.
To add carets above or below the current caret using the keyboard, Press Ctrl twice, and then without releasing it, press the up or down arrow key. Or you can enable the column selection mode (press Alt+Shift+Insert) and then press Shift+Up/Shift+Down.
Edit | Find | Select All Occurrences action does it:
I want to be able to select a piece of text in VSCode and hit a button and then have it select the next time that same piece of text appears in the document, then hit it again to select the third etc. What I say select, I want to duplicate the cursor. So I can edit multiple occurrences in one go.
I want to know what the actual command is so I can bind a key to it, not the default keybinding for it.
The command is named "Select all occurrences" and it produces one cursor for each occurrence of the word under cursor (or for each occurrence of the current selection, if a selection exists).
It is, by default, triggered by the keyboard combination Ctrl-Shift-L (Cmd-Shift on macOS) but you can assign a different combination if you need.
Another similar key combination is Ctrl-F2 (Cmd-F2). It is named "Change all occurrences".
Besides adding cursors, both commands also select the current word, if a selection does not exist, so that it can be deleted or replaced easily.
In emacs, it's possible to set a mark with c-space. The mark marks one end of a selection then when you move the cursor the other end of the selection moves with it.
For example, c-a, c-space, c-n, c-n selects two lines of text.
Matlab doesn't seem to have the concept of placing a mark. Is there any way to select text from the keyboard?
I'd like to do things like whack/yank a few words or comment out multiple lines without using the mouse.
I found this old question while trying to figure out the same problem. If anyone out there is still looking for how to do this, Matlab (as of version 2016a) supports keyboard selection shortcuts in the keyboard binding preferences (Preferences --> Keyboard --> Shortcuts). By default the text select functions are using the Home/End and Ctr/Shift + arrow keys to do this. I don't think the Emacs marking concept works but you could define a shortcut to your liking.

At least you don't have to use the mouse :-)
I am using Eclipse after coming from a well known commercial IDE. I am struggling with a very simple user requirement.
I want to search for the word under the
cursor with one key press!
The only way I know to select the element at the cursor is mouse double click. CTRL-LEFT/RIGHT, moves the cursor to start/end of the current word, with a SHIFT selecting as it goes. This means you need to CTRL-LEFT, CTRL-SHIFT-RIGHT - CTRL-K to do a search.
So if I can map the double click functionality to a keyboard key, my problem is solved - "Mapped Key" + CTRL-K.
The menu option Edit | Find Word does what you want. It doesn't have any keybinding by default, but you can add one in Window | Preferences, General -> Keys
I have searched the Web for this, but with no luck. Any idea?
Thanks.
Try using the Emacs+ plugin available here:
http://www.mulgasoft.com/emacsplus
It provides a HUGE range of functionality - including the selection highlighting that you're looking for - that really helps the move from Emacs. I've only been using it for a couple of days, but it appears stable and integrates very well with the editor.
As described here, you can set emacs key binding to work in component editor in Eclipse
Go to Preferences -> General -> Keys.
Change Scheme to Emacs if you haven't done so already, so you can easily
spot the emacs key bindings.
Sort by Category and look at the "Text Editing" categories
Find the commands that you care about, e.g. Next Column, Previous Column
Select that command and click "Copy Command"
Set the binding to the key by pressing the keys, e.g. press Control-f to
generate "^F".
Change "When:" to "Editing Components".
Repeat for all the key bindings you care about.
So if, in emacs, selection is done by setting the mark (Control-Space) at the start of the region, then moving the point to to the end of the region, you could associate the appropriate shortcut to:
Text Editing > Select Text Start
Text Editing > Select Text End
