excited to see what this means for the project, the poor UI/UX of libreoffice is easily its most glaring flaw imo

Hope they make the keyboard shortcuts match popular standards to help facilitate adoption

This! I love LibreOffice, but every time my spouse uses my Linux machine with LibreOffice Calc, they get frustrated when certain shortcuts they use in Excel do not work at all or the way they are used to.

Recently setup a MBP for their business and hardened it some, but it was defeating having to instead MS Office on there for them because it’s what they are used to.

Good luck Dan. You have an uphill battle.

Please, leave the UI theme alone. No ribbons, no ultra-low contrast borderless buttons/textareas.

Hate to break it to you: there is already a ribbon option in Libreoffice

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

Nooooooooooo :)

Well at least it's an option, not mandatory.
