LibreOffice is not adapted for the Pinephone screen. Supporters in the Pinephone forum suggested to use VIM or Emacs instead:

  • Or Abiword and Gnumeric.
  • But Abiword and Gnumeric aren’t developed further since about 10 years.
  • Abiword and Gnumeric have only very view short cuts.

LibreOffice is available for the Pinephone:

  • LibreOffice can be adapted easily.
  • It takes a bit of time, but we suggest to do the following procedure:
  • Through everything out which does not fit on the Pinephone screen, for instance menues.
  • Then we have a Libreoffice which can be controlled by shortcuts.
  • Then it should be similar to control as VIM or Emacs.
  • We do not need the full functionality of LibreOffice on the Pinephone anaway.
  • And new menus can be created by users which fit their needs.
  • And he thinks this can be solved by anyone who has a Pinephone

And we think this can be solved by anyone who has a Pinephone and has the necessary time.
