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.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
