  • I don’t really remember enough about Excel anymore, but considering that I don’t remember having that problem despite how many years I used it, I guess that is the case with it.

    And yes, a toggle would be nice. In fact, a few months ago, I was thinking of putting up a request over to the LibreOffice team, when I was working on the table view of another OSS project, but then procrastinated until I forgot. Honestly, if there are enough people that have a problem with this little thingy, it’d be better off fixed. Specially in the Qt implementation at least, it really is just a boolean toggle even for the developer.

    Would you like to put up a bug report to them?









  • I can use CAD. I am an engineer.
    But noone will ask me to draft a building design on AutoCAD, same as noone will ask me to do so with pencil and paper.
    Because I don’t know buildings.

    Sure, I might be asked to copy a pen-paper drawing onto CAD, but a Civil Engineer with CAD will do that better and a photo tracing software might do it as well as me.

    So while a good enough LLM might code as well as a coder, Programming is more than just coding and making anything new, requires programming.



  • where I, an average user, needs so long to find such a basic function

    I am not sure about that.
    The default UI is similar to the old MS Office Word and the new alternative (which from what I remember, LibreOffice actually asks you to choose from in a dialogue on first start, so you don’t need to look through menus to set your preference) uses the newer tabbed paradigm.

    And while I do prefer the new one, I didn’t find the old one any harder than MS Office Word 2003 or the older version that came around Win 98.

    The only thing that made me different from the average user back then, was that I actually read and understood user prompts before clicking “Next” or whatever.
