That's the eternal question: Should OpenOffice.org copy MS Office in
absurdum or not?

However, maybe there should be a tick box somewhere in the options dialogue
for "Use Excel shortcuts".

Shortcuts can be saved in a file, so maybe someone can create an "Excel
shortcuts" file and upload it somewhere? Perharps someone who know much
about Excel...

However, some shortcuts are language dependent, like the Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+]
which seems to be "decrease font size" and "increase font size" in English
version. These seems to be at Ctrl+8 and Ctrl+9 in Swedish version. [ and ]
are, by the way, located at AltGr+8 and AltGr+9 respectively on a Swedish
keyboard. Why? Well, maybe because our letters åäöÅÄÖ has to be somewhere
easy to reach, which is to the right of P and L, where I guess the {[]}\|
are located on an English keyboard..
