Dear @libreoffice ,
I believe it is time to change the default interface layout to a design that is much more intuitive, accessible, and easy to understand for those unfamiliar with LibreOffice.
I would like to suggest making the default interface layout “Contextual Single” when it is ready, if only for the sake of those using LibreOffice for the first time.
Thank you! 
What a refreshing story! I imagine many of us here owe a great deal to @libreoffice a software suite that has freed us from the grip of the document monopoly, thus broken our dependency on the fate of a single company.
If you're curious about how LibreOffice became what it is today, I highly recommend watching this in your spare time: youtu.be/9M468Krlawo

Hardcoded shortcuts in #LibreOffice are still a joke in 2024:
- F1 still cannot be modified. (I hate you so much for this.)
- Ctrl-P is Print, except editing shortcuts shows it's not actually bound to anything. Lulz?
Thankfully at least one can modify Ctrl-P to do something actually useful, like Export Directly as PDF.
But then… the Print tooltip still mentions Ctrl-P, the Export Directly as PDF doesn't.
A restart later, both tooltips mention Ctrl-P.
Lulz!
Super nice #macOS related fixes upcoming in #LibreOffice💪❤️
macOS dictation had a problem where dictated text would only show, once you make a pause speaking. That was inconvenient as it is much easier to gather your thoughts when spoken text appears immediately.
Another issue that has been ongoing for many many years was, that when you scrolled the sheet in calc and while scrolling was still ongoing pressed cmd for some operation, the zoom level would change. This extremely annoying behavior is no longer.
Both fixes done by #PatrickLuby of #NeoOffice - we should all thank him!
Will take some time for those to trickly down into stable, but 25.2 will bring those fixes for sure.

To all my writer friends that use MS Word - Microsoft has turned their AI bits and bots on to automatically go through anything done via Word.
Here's how to turn it off.
> Programs > Programs and Features > Uninstall Microsoft Office > Open browser > go to libreoffice.org > download @libreoffice
Then install LibreOffice on your computer and use Writer instead of Word.

I have used LibreOffice off and on for years, but with increasingly annoying Microsoft Office 365 issues at work I have come back to it full time on MacOS. I have not been disappointed and I really like their privacy options too. If you want a free Office Suite with compatibility to read and write Office formats, this is a great alternative.

Is LibreOffice ever going to behave and stop freezing whenever you do nvda+down arrow? Seriously. I installed it again on my new windows installation and quite rapidly remembered why it was I wanted ms word instead...
I can't even read a document without having to manually do it. Pathetic that it is still like this in 2024.
The internet is very silent about this year's #LibreOffice and #OpenSource Conference 2024. Are there any slides, video recordings, interviews, press releases?
Was an honour to present the @fsfe 's work for #softwarefreedom at #libreoffice Conference 24. (slides uploaded to events.documentfoundation.org/… )
Thanks to all the @libreoffice contributors out there 👏
Don't forget to promote the LibreOffice 2024 Schedule app!
