--- Comment #22 from Bob McCay <rmccay69 at gmail.com> ---
>From looking at the various comments, it looks like nobody really understands
the importance of this feature to accountants, bookkeepers, and tax
professionals.  All of us learn to use ten-key by touch as a basic, required
skill in our profession, and ten-key is based on this feature. We use
spreadsheets every day, and we must enter long columns of two-decimal figures
without looking at the keyboard.  We are adapted and trained to do this by
ten-key training because it saves a great deal of time and prevents many
errors. Once this training is ingrained it is extremely frustrating to try to
do data entry without it.  We NEVER use the decimal key in most situations. So
by not making this change you are severely limiting Libre Calc's usefulness for
serious accounting, bookkeeping, and tax professionals, and there are a lot of
us. I'd love to get away from Microsoft, but the lack of this feature keeps me
away from Libre, which is too bad because the concept and execution is
otherwise so satisfactory.
