hard! Hard when your code base is over 20 years old and designed with Windows GUI in mind. That is what has happened in the past and I would assume it would happen in the future. org code is updated/improved - then code that NeoOffice can use is improved. NeoOffice 2.1 is based on the code of OOo 2.1. Judging by the scope of their project, most (if not all) of this HIG work is already in NeoOffice. If so, keys would behave like they should.įWIW, the specs for the SoC project can be found here.
OO has a Summer Of Code project to make OO conform to the Mac HIG. These are just my thoughts, I'm not trying to be dismissive. If you can code and are willing to get your hands dirty, your help will be appreciated. As I and others have pointed out there are work-arounds to some of them and others, I'm afraid we just have to live with (for the time being). NeoOffice has several years of history and most of your suggestions have been made before. Please don't take this response the wrong way.
NEOOFFICE FOR MAC HOW TO
A new developer who know how to and has the time to do the above Somebody donating an awful lot of money to the projectĥ. Re-engineering portions of OpenOffice code to understand the Option keyĤ. Abandoning use of Java for menus in NeoOfficeģ. Apple fixing Java so it knows about OptionĢ. To get the desired result requires one or more of the following:ġ. Add to this the fact that Apple's implementation of Java seems to not know about the Option key and it becomes more or less impossible to get NeoOffice to respond exactly like other Mac applications. The Mac has an extra meta key than Windows - we have Option/Alt and Command/Apple, they have Alt and the not useful in applications Windows key. The fundamental problems with keyboard shortcuts are that NeoOffice is built from OpenOffice which is designed primarily for Windows.
All of the "easy" things have been done, most of the "difficult" things have been done, and an amazing number of the "frankly this is not possible, oh wait if I (Patrick) just do this." things have also been done. The NeoOffice project is quite mature now.
NEOOFFICE FOR MAC MAC OS
If you download and install for MacOS, which runs under the X11 environment, I think you will find that NeoOffice has been changed a great deal to make it more consistent with Mac OS X. My suggestion is to change the default behaviour in NeoOffice to be more consistent with Mac OS X, not to have individual users have to change things.īut it's a suggestion, I'm not trying to be pushy. Posted: Mon 2:15 am Post subject: Default behaviour in NeoOffice It is possible to get the Cmd-Arrow behaviour that you want using Tools -> Customize -> Keyboard, however the is no support for the Opt (Alt) key in NeoOffice. Makes it hard for a new Mac user to get accustomed to the different cursor navigation key combos. First I teach them how the key combos work in general, then I have to educate them on a special case like NeoOffice. This is to me the biggest hurdle in advising people to use NeoOffice under Mac OS X.
