This works (at least for me on BigSur and LibreOffice 7.0.5.2), but you need to find the correct shortcut in macOS using Tools -> Customize -> Tab Keyboard. Watch out for Function (lower middle pane) "Toggle Unicode Notation" while having selected Category "Options" in the lower left pane (Don't own an apple keyboard, so can't tell here.

For example, I could (of course) use the + key on my keyboard to produce a + sign. But the button to insert that sign exists anyways. I think that this is the whole point of LibreOffice Math: it offers a GUI to type symbols which can be way more tricky to type than a +, because they require some key combinations which are hard to remember also because they change from OS to OS. A GUI interface on the other hand allows users with any keyboard or OS to type math equations. This falls on the missing opensymbol characters. Gonna take a while. |
