Office suite

One thing that has always irritated me about the spreadsheets in Libreoffice is that a key combo I used all the time in Excel wasn't there - hit "End" then an arrow to go to the furthest cell in the sheet. It's a small thing but if you work with big sheets it sure is handy. Anyway, I decid...
