Description gbali 2003-12-10 12:07:02 UTC 
The keybindings of Ooffice are counterintuitive and confusing.
It is possible to change these on the user level. However, It would
be preferable if ooffice was distributed with a set of alternative
pre-defined keybindings. Other software like eclipse or netbeans offer
a choice between MS style, emacs style, unix style. For a non-MS user
it is extremely confusing if Ctrl-A does not go to the beginning of the line,
if Ctrl-Z (rather than Ctrl-U) undoes etc etc.. The main motivation for
many ooffice users in the linux/bsd etc world is the ability to import,
change and export MS document styles. If, however, all predefined conventions
correspond to MS conventions rather than to the emacs conventions we are used to
since some 20 years, this is a major off-putting factor. All components of
Ooffice and not only the word processor suffer from this defect.
