--- Comment #3 from [email protected] --- While understanding a reluctance to be driven by Microsoft's shortcut keys, I do think there is a very valid productivity argument in favour of doing that (as far as reasonably possible). I spend hours each day working in Excel 2003 and I work much faster using keyboard shortcuts than with the mouse - difficult to estimate the productivity delta, but it could well be 20-30%. Reluctantly I am being nudged towards using the 2007+ versions with their hateful ribbon, but I do find the old shortcuts generally work (though they can be a bit slow). When I come home and do some stuff in LibreOffice I find myself slowing right down and find it hard to imagine that I could ever really transition full-time away from Excel primarily for this reason. The most obviously missing shortcut is F~ormat>C~ells and most time-consuming dialog difference is Paste Special (~values). LibreOffice is missing a trick here as I am not the only die-hard Excel 2003 user who has an extreme dislike of the ribbon, and Microsoft really will "turn off" the 2003 version before long leaving us stranded and looking desperately around for a spreadsheet application with a less dictatorial approach to user interface. I know that I can user-define my own shortcuts, but this is a lot of work for every linux upgrade or multiple computers I use. I started to write the attached add-on 3-4 years ago which does half-do the job of reassigning shortcuts, but can no longer remember how exactly to finish it - could anyone advise/help with that? My feature request would be a tick-box in the options for "Office 2003 shortcuts", and I don't think this would be so hard to do. I would be very pleased to help do the leg-work of mapping it out, coding etc. Calc is my main interest, but also Draw, Impress and Write have the same issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
