- TurkishPoptart 4y agoFucking Microsoft. Why can't things be simple and standardized?
- naikrovek 4y agobackwards compatibility. people who have been using those applications for decades do not want those shortcuts to change for any reason.
- unbalancedevh 4y agoHaha, I wish they'd thought of that before they implemented the ribbon to replace the menu bar. I can't imagine how many hours of productivity were lost for people dealing with that change.
- naikrovek 4y agothey did think of that... you'll be happy to know that a lot of the ribbon is going away in favor of small buttons with icons on them, and people are losing their minds over it. so no matter what Microsoft do, millions of people are gonna bitch about it and complain for years and years.
- floxy 4y agoLike the reason ctrl+f in Outlook is to "forward", rather than "find". https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20140715-00/?p=503 https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20140715-00/?p=50...
- brokenmachine 4y agoI've made this "mistake" more times than I'd be willing to admit.
- rhino369 4y agoIn word, Cntrl Shift V just applies formatting. You have to Ctrl V wait hit Cntrl again and then hit T.
- haltcase 4y agoAnd then there's Excel, where you need to do the same but it's Control + V instead of Control + T.
- Too 4y agoIn Excel you can press F2 before pasting. That takes focus of the cell one level deeper to the input-box, where only plain text is allowed.
- kleiba 4y agoYes, but you can make it work as described by changing a setting in Word.
- icelancer 4y agoMy company switched to Office over Google and this is by far the worst thing I've come across, and that's saying a lot.
