Hey, total noob here. I’ve been free of Windows and using Mint for a whooping 2 days. It’s been great. I work on text docs 7 hours a day. Libre Office didn’t mesh with Mint, and I’m using OnlyOffice. It’s perfect for my needs. BUT.

Back on Word, I had Autocorrect customized with shortcuts for phrases I use a lot. It’s a feature I absolutely need. I can’t find it in OnlyOffice. For maths, yes. For text, nothing.
There must be a plugin, a script (not sure what scripts are, tbh), something.

I’m not talking about autocomplete (I don’t want it to list words I might be typing, I want it to insert “Hello world” as soon as I type “hh” or whatever.)

Please?

    That’s not a thing. Do you mean you didn’t mesh with LibreOffice?

      Libre Office kept freezing for ten or fifteen seconds every minute or so, no matter what I was doing or not doing with it at the time. Someone in the Linux community told me it could happen and gave me a fix I couldn’t begin to understand before adding that OnlyOffice should give a smoother experience. It does. That’s all i know.

      Since tone doesn’t translate through text, i would be curious too and non-judgemental about what they meant about it not meshing with Mint.
