Hum... this is documented under "Shortcut Keys" at:

http://www.libreoffice.org/welcome/readme.html

***
Shortcut Keys

Only shortcut keys (key combinations) not used by the operating system 
can be used in LibreOffice. If a key combination in LibreOffice does not 
work as described in the LibreOffice Help, check if that shortcut is 
already used by the operating system. To rectify such conflicts, you can 
change the keys assigned by your operating system. Alternatively, you can 
change almost any key assignment in LibreOffice. For more information on 
this topic, refer to the LibreOffice Help or the Help documention of your 
operating system.

The application help of LibreOffice may use shortcut combinations for PC 
keyboards only.
