My biggest problem with Microsoft 365 is that it obstinately keeps using localized keyboard shortcuts, so if you're an non-English speaker, the usual English shortcuts like Ctrl+f don't fucking work.

I'm with you, drives me nuts that it is basically a guessing game on whether the shortcut for bolding the font is either Ctrl-B or Ctrl-G (gras, bold in French) and it varies by software, region, time of the day....

Plus, previous versions had a shortcut which I memorized despite it being stupid. Now they changed it.

Hey, wanna know something even more awful?
Excel function names are localized.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not just the function names, since comma and dot are used as decimal separator so semicolons replace commas between function arguments in my locale.

I hate how I never know if I need to use dots or commas for decimal separator in excel.

Computing features dreamed up by the utterly deranged.

IIRC it still works if you use English names
