I'm currently transitioning from Windows to Linux and getting familiar with LibreOffice. To make the switch smoother, I created a tool that maps (almost) all MS Office shortcuts to LibreOffice equivalents.

I used Jules agent to help build and refine the repository. I figured others making the same transition might find it useful.

Would love feedback from the community about improvements to the mapping!

I used to really like the Apple suite, but with their move to the subscription version I might be moving to Libre office as well.

As a finance guy, this is a massive, massive impediment to me "maining" Linux. Without my long-ingrained Excel shortcuts I'm not getting very far. I was previously planning to investigate a couple of "containerised" ways to run 365 (the names escape me) and I may yet have to in order to be able to use the collab/live edit features of Office, but this is a big step if it does what it says on the tin. Thanks for sharing!

EDIT: On second look, it looks like this might only bring over the native/bespoke hotkeys rather than the "Alt Codes" which are the majority of (my) shortcuts? e.g. Alt + H - I - S for Insert Sheet. Will have to have a look at it properly

> "Alt Codes" which are the majority of (my) shortcuts? e.g. Alt + H - I - S for Insert Sheet

Alt + H opens whatever menu H stands for, then the subsequent letters hit the appropriate menu items. The menus and their hotkeys would have to match the Office counterparts as well, and that's unlikely in normal free software clones. Not sure if it'll be that case here.

edit: After looking at what this tool does, I actually would not be surprised if you could just rewrite all the menus and their hotkeys...
