Use Microsoft Office Shortcuts in Libre Office

A new community-made pack promises peace between rival office worlds by letting LibreOffice behave like Microsoft Office—at least for your fingers. The repo maps familiar Word, Excel, and PowerPoint shortcuts into LibreOffice’s Writer, Calc, and Impress, complete with a friendly tool to tweak your own mappings and even a hands‑off test that types for you.

Cue the comments: keyboard warriors assemble. One finance pro basically screamed into the spreadsheet void that life without Excel key combos is impossible, calling this a “big step” toward ditching Windows. Another voice charged in with a two-word drive‑by—“Try onlyoffice”—sparking a mini flame war over which “free Office” is the real MVP. Meanwhile, a power user flexed that LibreOffice already lets you customize shortcuts and even dropped steps to bind that elusive Ctrl+Plus row insert, proving the feature has been there all along.

There’s even side drama: one commenter grumbled that Apple’s office apps went “subscription,” vowing to jump ship, while others praised the project’s AI‑assisted build and begged for collaboration features like Microsoft 365’s live editing. The vibe? Subs are out, muscle memory is king, and people will trade entire desktops to keep their pinky and index fingers happy. The funniest bit: a tool about keyboard shortcuts that warns “don’t touch your keyboard” during testing. Internet irony, served hot.
