ONLYOFFICE 7.5 Released with New PDF Editor + More
A new version of ONLYOFFICE, an open-source productivity suite for Windows, macOS, and Linux, is available to download. ONLYOFFICE 7.5 includes the usual
Man if Libre peeps and OnlyOffice UI/UX devs joined forces, we would be living in the year 3000.
I've been using LibreOffice as an MS Office replacement for a decade or so, although most of my documents are still on Google docs. The LibreOffice UI seems to have never really improved at all, and even the updating experience is annoying. I don't understand how such a lucrative productivity app has no developer support behind it?
OpenOffice got me really excited, because that UI seems modern and polished. It's really unfortunate that it's mostly we lb based and apparently really slow.
So yeah, 100% agree with you. LibreOffice with the OpenOffice UI would be 🔥
OnlyOffice vs LibreOffice?
So I use both for work... Libre for most things, but for spreadsheets or powerpoints that are a bit more complex, onlyoffice works/looks better.
The PDF editor sounds like a gamechanger. Most office suites dont include one by default.
Everyone here keeps talking about how the UI is amazing, so maybe this is the right place to ask: is there an FOSS office suite that has a command pallet like coding editors and GSuite do, where you can tap a hotkey and type the tool name without having to dig through menus?
LibreOffice has that. Only thing is you'll need to do is set the hotkey manually, I believe the default is
Shift+Escbut some LO apps may not have that configured. Go toTools > Customize > Keyboard. Click inside the shortcut keys pane and press your preferred key combo (I useCtrl+Shift+P). Then under functions, start typing "search" and look for "Search Commands". Then hit the Modify button to assign the shortcut key to the function. Now if you pressCtrl+Shift+P, it'll bring up the command pallete just like vscode.Emacs, if you're willing to go down that rabbit hole.
Has they fixed the bug where scrolling horizontally using a mouse that has horizontal scroll wheel (such as logitech mx master) would also scroll the page vertically?
Edit: just tried v7.5.0.127, it still have the scrolling bug. If this bug were fixed I basically have no issue left with onlyoffice, it works very well except for this super annoying bug.
Have you submitted a bug report?
The bug report was created on Nov 3, 2022: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DesktopEditors/issues/1094. The bug still persists.
Are you a programmer? If so, the code is open source, so you could try fixing it on your own; it doesn't seem that hard to fix. You could try to find where they are handling scroll input and see if there is anything that tells you what direction it is. Then if it's horizontal just ignore it.
Even if it's actually an easy fix, as a new contributor you'll need some degree of familiarity with the codebase before you can identify the bug and figure out the proper way to fix it. Getting there may require quite significant time investment, especially for project this big where the code seems to be split across 4 rather large git repos. I don't have much free time left to dig into a large project like this at the moment.
Also, if it's really that easy to fix, I feel like the devs would've fixed this already in the past 4 years, though it's possible the devs simply don't use any mouse with horizontal scroll support to reproduce the issue.
Still waiting for them to admit that a dictionary that automatically changes according to the keyboard you use is a bad idea.
If I manually select the Spanish language it is that I want to write Spanish. Not for the software to switch back to English as soon as I enter any keystroke.Still waiting on that Wayland support
