Sorry Maxim, but this is absolutly unconfortable und for the ›normal‹ user
unpractical, inacceptable. Nobody, except IT-experts, likes to work with
cryptic syntax. That way, I fear, OpenType-features will not be widley used. I
hope very much, that LO or Writer will soon get implemented an appropriate,
›user-friendly‹ toolbar, sidebar, controll-window-dialogue or something like
this. Bothersome is also that OpenType-features like ligatures are enabled by
default, regardless of whether I want them in the text or not. It cannot simple
be disabled by the user, right?
