Re: Hotkey (or similar) to quickly switch to a monospace font ("teletype") in either LibreOffice or Microsoft Office
Apparently yes! In LibreOffice:
- Click menu ***Tools* -> *Customize...* -> *Keyboard***. A dialog like below will show:
Now, to enable switching to "monospace"/"fixed-width" font, via e.g. **Alt-1** shortcut:
- In ***Shortcut keys***, scroll down to e.g. ***Alt-1*** (was empty for me) and click it;
- In ***Category***, scroll all the way down to ***Styles***, click it to open, then click ***Character***;
- In ***Function***, choose ***Source Text***;
- Click the ***Modify*** button (don't forget to do this!). Your *Alt-1* should now show in the *Keys* area (bottom-right).
To enable easy switching back to "regular" font, repeat above steps, but use e.g. ***Alt-0*** instead of *Alt-1*, and Function ***Default Style*** instead of *Source Text*.

And by the way, some related shortcuts available by default, apparently:
- ***Ctrl-1***, ..., ***5*** -- paragraph style: *Heading 1, ..., 5*
- ***Ctrl-Shift-0*** / ***Ctrl-0*** -- paragraph style: *Default Style* / *Text Body*
- ***F12*** / ***Shift-F12*** -- *Numbering on/off* / *Bullets on/off*
- ***Ctrl-Shift-P/B*** -- character style: *suPerscript* / *suBscript*
- Click menu ***Tools* -> *Customize...* -> *Keyboard***. A dialog like below will show:
