# Re: [libreoffice-users] Fractions in Maths

Hi! I think an interesting reason may justify the enhancement request.

It is a matter of speed. For me, I need to use the keyboard very often. Typing Alt+I+O+F {2a over
3} (Esc) (Esc) (17 keys) is slower. Typing 2a/3 (space) (5 keys) is faster.

(17-5)/17*100=70.59%

That is about 70 per cent of reduction in the number of keys I need to type (not using the mouse)!
Amazing!

I am likely late to this thread, but why won't using
sqrt{4a^2 over 9} = +- {2a over 3}
as an LO "formula" work for you, or  using
\sqrt{\frac{4a^2}{9}}=\pm\frac{2a}{3}
in TexMath

While it would be grand to be able to simply have LO parse TeX (or your
math notation of preference), the two options above seem reasonable
compromises....

Hello! At last, I have submitted a proposal to include an AutoCorrect option to type fractions
with horizontal lines, e.g.

I need fractions as they are related to equations, e.g.
4a
__=4
9
