Hi Marco, it's a double to Issue 1820 Frank *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 1820 *** closed double Sorry for the duplication, your search engine is a nightmare. You must simplyfy it, I don't know if you provide detailed istruction about how to use it, the true thing is that it's not as easy as a google search is, and people will not spent hours in figuring out how to use it. I've tried to find some keyword, but I got no results. In addition, having OO 1.1beta, not having this problem already solved seemd to me that was because nobody reported it, since it's a realy fundamental usability problem and a trivial fix. regards Marco Menardi |
Hi, in many countries (like mine, Italy, or Argentina, or others) the decimal separator is "," (coma), while in then numeric keyboard we have "." (point). This has historical reasons, anyway "clever" software always maps that key (".") to the decimal separator, so we can do numeric data entry in a handy way (all our programs, es. accounting ones, and M$ Excell or M$ calculator do that). Unfortunately, OO calc does not map that key, so user experience with it is very bad. Since mapping that key is a trivial thing in code, and the lack of that feature is a big damage to the acceptance of OO here, please fix it soon!
