About LibreOffice Calc and its shortcuts

LibreOffice Calc is the free spreadsheet most Linux desktops ship with, and its keyboard deliberately stays close to what spreadsheet users already know, so habits carry over. Where it differs is around its own dialogs: the function wizard, the navigator and the sheet management commands follow LibreOffice conventions rather than anyone else's.

LibreOffice lets you load an alternative key set aimed at people arriving from other spreadsheets, so an installation can behave differently from the defaults. Commands also differ slightly between the Windows and Mac builds.
