Why no tub brosing in Libre office?

Hello,

Have you tried the Window menu?  It lists all your open LibreOffice 
documents and allows you to switch to the relevant window.  Alt+w and 
then either navigate the list, or use the auto-generated mnemonics 
(which unfortunately aren't necessarily easy to guess, but that's what 
we get when generating that kind of stuff on the fly with more or less 
random filenames).

Also, at least on Linux, many window managers support the concept of 
switching between a single application's window, similar to Alt+Tab (in 
case Alt+Tab doesn't fir your needs).  One common shortcut is Alt+² (the 
key above Tab), but YMMV I guess.  I wouldn't know if something similar 
exists on Windows or macos, but that sounds likely.

HTH,
Colomban
