There's the rub. The last time I checked, there was no way to package keybindings in a modular way, which is a massive oversight in my opinion for a project meant to replace that which millions of office workers have years of muscle memory engrained
It feels like making a car for an international market that is meant for anybody but is locked into one language in the user interface for no good reason and either can't be changed without overhauling a big part of the car construction process involving somehow parts of the actual powertrain needing to be changed or it is only a moderately difficult process to begin and they haven't prioritized it which makes me wonder how they establish priorities for creating a car that is useful to as much of the world as possible in the first place...
I mean I am thankful for useful FOSS software, and having ANY alternative to microsoft office, especially a functional free option is amazing.... it is just... come on LibreOffice!!!!!
Let a cottage community of weird LibreOffice keybinding schemes flourish!!!
