Interesting. This provoked me to check it out on my new (10 days' ago)
clean install of UbuntuStudio 16.04 LTS which has LibreOffice Version:
5.1.4.2 Build ID: 1:5.1.4-0ubuntu1.

dt followed by F3 works fine and prints out a load of dummy text.

F3 is a standard assignment in 5.1.4.2 and works fine

Ctrl+F3 is also shown as a standard assignment but on my machine, it
does not work as a LO shortcut because it has been hijacked by the
window manager and takes me to desktop #3.

Ctrl+F1 takes me to desktop #1 and so on for all the Ctrl+F(n) combos up
to the 6 desktops I use.

I never realized I could change desktops that way because I always
change desktop using Crtl+Alt+ left or right arrow key.

And when I check the UbuntuStudio settings manager for the Window
Manager keyboard shortcuts, the Ctrl+F(n) are indeed shown there.

Curious how it all varies from version to version.  You live and learn.
