BorderLiner provides a simple method to draw borders in tables and some text elements in OpenOffice.org Calc and Writer.
Version 2.1.1 is a bugfix release for LibreOffice 3.3.1. Users of native Openoffice.org are recommended to stay with 2.1.0.
Select the line style in the toolbar, use the dialog to define the color. Then activate the extension (left most button). Now imagine the numerical key pad of your PC to be a table. "2" marks the bottom border, "8" the top and so on. Select the cells, press
ALT+2 to draw a bottom line,CTRL+2 to pick the linestyle of the bottom line or SHIFT+2 to delete the bottom line etc.
In Calc you can also use the mouse: release the mouse close to the border you want to draw. If the mouse is released in the center of a cell, no line is drawn.
Supported are also selections of cells with multiple formats (bug in version 2.0) and multiple ranges of cells in Calc.
Available in following languages: de, en, fr, it (see documentation on how to help translating BorderLiner).
Documentation at http://home.vrweb.de/hillerd/Software.html (including packages ColorChooser and OooRegistry).

I tried this extension yesterday, under LibreOffice 3.5.5. Since then, LO crashes systematically, at the splash screen, when saying "enabling BorderLiner". Reinstalling didn't help. Repairing didn't help either. I can't disable the extension because LO cannot start! I am obliged to uninstall everything. Stay away from this extension or you may no longer be able to use the suite!
I am sorry to say so, the work on this extension has now been given up for Openoffice.org. Since version 2.1.1. it is developed on the basis of LibreOffice. You might try if it works on OpenOffice.org nevertheless, but no guarantee.
why don't i see BorderLiner in the keyboard customization dialog? all other extensions are there. i'd really prefer to turn it on/off by keyboard...
Thanks for your suggestion. I checked, it is possible to assign a fixed keystroke to the extension, but that cannot be customized in the keyboard dialog.
If you have an extension (not a macro) that implements this feature, please let me know so that I can have a look at the code.

I can not give you a developer-side answer, but at least half of the extensions I have installed show up in keyboard configuration dialog under "OOo Macros/share". Instead of giving me one item there, there are all of extension's methods listed (most of which user should not be able to invoke), but that does give me what I want, assuming I figure out what the main method is... If you could provide an on/off method there (toggle, not two methods) we could activate/deactivate extension by keyboard.
Casual search of the openoffice site returned this and this... though you've probably been through that already...
