- braderhart 9y agoAll of the apps I suggested have excellent keyboard shortcuts and options as well. So this is really about the ribbon interface to you? I am wondering which Microsoft PR company you work for?
- bko 9y ago> I am wondering which Microsoft PR company you work for? That’s really unnecessary. I don’t have any of the alternatives available to me right now but if you’re honestly curious I could take another look this weekend and see if every widely used function has a shortcut. But from what I remember many don’t. I would love to see a plugin that maps excel shortcuts to either libre office or open office
- legitster 9y ago> I am wondering which Microsoft PR company you work for? What an, awful, terrible sentiment. "The only reason someone could ever disagree with me is they are a paid shill".

- copperx 9y agoThe ribbon has a software patent, if I remember correctly. Although it's a UI element, so I'm not sure if it's enforceable?
- paulie_a 9y agoI am thankful that the ribbon UI is patented, it prevents that terrible experience getting more widely implemented
