Hello! I’m a regular donor to LibreOffice. No really. I’ve donated annually since 2019. (Obviously, I’m mentioning this in the hopes that you care about the experiences and feedback of those who are able to and choose to financially contribute to LibreOffice.)
I’ve never really used LibreOffice as my primary office suite as I’ve usually used Apple’s Pages, Numbers, & Keynote. However, now that Apple is making these things “freemium” and infusing AI into them, I’m in the process of migrating my most important spreadsheet to LibreOffice Calc. Assuming this goes well, I will begin migrating more of my documents to LibreOffice.
Unfortunately, I just discovered that the keyboard behavior in LibreOffice Calc in macOS is non-standard. Particularly, the use of Shift + Option + Left Arrow / Right Arrow. Standard macOS behavior would be for these keboard shortcuts to mover the current text selection left or right one word at a time. Instead LibreOffice Calc uses this to change the column width. It’s very frustrating that LibreOffice does not stick to the standard keyboard shortcuts that basically all other apps on Mac use.
I plan to keep using, promoting, and financially supporting LibreOffice and so, I really hope that you will read this and decide to fix LibreOffice on the Mac to use standard macOS keyboard shortcuts.
Thanks for listening.
