Description Andreas Säger 2024-04-27 10:03:42 UTC 
Open the start center and hit F1.
Result: Nothing happens.
Expected result: Help page opens in browser.

The menu entry "LibreOffice Help F1" indicates that F1 is the assigned shortcut.
The start center has no customizable keyboard shortcuts.

Confirmed, sort of. <F1> upon SC opening to its default thumbnail view (aka the backing window FWK_HID_BACKINGWINDOW ) does not respond with a help article local install or online.

I do reach the startcenter.xhp if I first <Shift>+F6 to move focus out of the thumbnail views of the SC backing window and onto the tab bar. Likewise if I click the SC 'Help' button.

While with F10 onto main menu, an F1 opens the Picklist help.
