Having grown very used to Excel defaults I find Calc very annoying to use. Now that contributing to LibreOffice looks sane I'm curious how receptive people would be to some patches for the following Calc conventions...
SEMI-COLON INSTEAD OF COMMA AS FUNCTION ARGUMENT SEPARATOR Current Calc behaviour: =subtotal(9;a1:a5) Desired behaviour: =subtotal(9,a1:a5) I'm not sure if it would feasible to support both ; and , as argument seperators. DELETE CELL "HELPER" The delete cell "helper" dialog box pops up anytime I try to delete a cell or cell selection. It gives me options to delete some combination of text / numbers / date & time / formulas / notes / formats / objects. Occassionally this is useful. For regular use, however, I just want the value of the cell deleted. The current behavior seems analogous to Paste Special (which is Shift-Control-V) and I wonder if it would be possible to have Delete delete only the cell value immediately and. Then a Delete Special... command could be added (perhaps Shift-Control-Delete) which would bring up the current delete dialog box. COPY & PASTE TO A CELL WITH AN EXISTING VALUE The first time I copy and pasted a cell formula into another cell which already had something in it a dialog came up asking something like "This cell already has a value. Are you sure you want to do copy a new value in?" EXTREMELY annoying. So annoying that I skipped past it for the first few days without seeing the "Show this dialog" checkbox. Once I saw the option to hide the dialog I did so and I don't know how to get it back to quote exactly what it says. I can't really think of any reason for this dialog to exist at all but at least it can be dismissed so its not quite so bad as the delete dialog. Still would anybody object if I submitted a patch to kill it? Thanks to everyone involved in this project! Its great to see some momentum gathering. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
