Select the cell. Record a macro: Tools → Macros → Record → Format → Cells → Numbers → Category:Number → Format:-1,234 (select that from the list) → OK → Stop recording → Give your macro a name and save it. I tested that a macro which I created will apply that number format to a cell or cell range.Comma 0, is a thousands separator with 0 decimal places. I can certainly do that by right clicking the cell/range and enter the formatting menu. I was just looking for a shortcut icon to place on the tool bar to make it simpler.

To put the macro on a toolbar try: Tools → Customize → Toolbar → Toolbar:Formatting → Add → Category:OpenOffice Macros → Select your macro → Add → Close → Position the macro on the toolbar as desired using the ⬆︎⬇︎ buttons → OK. I don't use toolbars so I don't know what options you might have in that dialog for choosing an icon.
Personally I would create a style for that cell format and record applying the style instead using Format → Cells. I would save the style in my default Calc template so it's available in any spreadsheet which I create.
