Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: A Tale of Two Office Suites

Hi :)
Brilliant!!  Ctrl z is much easier than faffing around deleting spaces.  Alex i found the same as 
you except if i typed a space after the close brackets and maybe some more text and then went back 
to delete the space-before-the-close-brackets.  


So, now we are finding tons of ways to avoid it but i think Barry's is the best yet.  I tend to 
have a little finger hoovering over the "a" key that can easily reach the Ctrl key which moves my 
3rd-finger quite near the Z.  So, it all works really easily if you keep your fingers roughly in 
touch-typing position.  Plus it means you don't have to switch off any of the auto-correction stuff 
which can be pretty handy.  

Regards from
Tom :)
