Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but macOS has reserved most Option+key
combinations for input methods. Even in the US QWERTY input method, nearly
every Option+key is transformed into a Unicode character key press event before
LibreOffice gets the event.

Also, Control+key is reserved for many system functions and input method
features.

This is one of the main reasons why almost no applications (even Apple's own
applications) do not implement Windows style mnemonics.

In theory, maybe there are some combination of keys that aren't reserved by
macOS, but in my quick review with US QWERTY and Japanese - Kana input methods
as well as Apple's list of standard system shortcuts (see link below):
