Is there any shortcut on Pages to insert a bullet point or any way to programme in a shortcut? To avoid having to go into the Format menu and select bullet point every time

Yes. But you have to turn it on first.

Go to the Format sidebar, and click on the pull-down menu for Bullets & Lists. Next to the one you want, "Bullet" probably, move your cursor over to the right side of that item until you see a tiny right arrow that looks like a > symbol. Click that and then go to Shortcut, and assign an F-key to it.

Now you can use that F-key to start a bullet list with the keyboard only. Note that you may need to use the "FN" key in addition to the F-key depending on your System Preferences, Keyboard setting.

Hi holistichris,

Yes there is, in a way. You type the bullet point character itself [ • ] by pressing the Option and 8 keys. Now, to make a bulleted list, you just type a space and then at least one other character.

When you hit Return, the next line will automatically begin with the same • character and will behave like any other list. (To end the list, just type Return again.)
