Are the developers of OOo/LibreOffice a bit barmy, or have they lost the plot? Surely, attracting experienced MSO users would be much, much easier if they didn't have to laboriously work their way around the lack of these handy and very productive shortcuts. from MS Office have been totally omitted from OpenOffice-there are NO* equivalents in OOo/LibO. No one has ever given me any reason-let alone a good one-why my beloved CTRL-Q, CTRL-T, CTRL-M, CTRL-SHIFT-T, M etc. For example, for years I've whinged about the lack of keyboard shortcut compatibility between MS Office, Word etc. If you un-selected it during the setup, the choice to disable won't appear in Of course you're absolutely correct but you have make allowances for newbies/neophytes.Įven though Wolf Sullivan hasn't a clue I can understand his frustration UI and keyboard compatibility between software is a first class pain in the A. If you didn't take care of it there, it can be disabled at any time in Tools > Options > Memory.

PS - For anyone who doesn't like the Quickstarter feature, it can be un-selected during setup. LibreOffice is the office suite to use from now on.

Not only that, but the Go-oo project merged their code with LibreOffice, so it's better than OpenOffice ever was. LibreOffice uses the open source LGPL license and is made by some of the original team. Oracle refused to donate OpenOffice for the greater good, then later they abandoned it and gave it away not to the people, but to Apache, so now it has an Apache license. Some of their programmers broke off and formed The Document Foundation and made LibreOffice, because Oracle would have ruined with their corporate mindset.
