Online: wrestling web Copy/Paste to usability

Defeating the API and implementation disasters in copy/paste
UB4.136
Michael Meeks
Overcoming the synchronous web copy/paste API's limitations in real browsers is extremely non-trivial. Come & hear how we provide rich copy/paste support across browsers, inside our app and hear a bit about how this mess should be fixed.
Collabora has been working to provide a good user-experience for Collabora Online - bringing LibreOffice to the web, and a particularly challenging aspect of this has been copy/paste. One of our challenges is that by design we keep our document data on the server, which is at the end of an asynchronous web-socket. Another challenge is the impossibly baroque and arguably mis-designed set of clipboard APIs that we have to work with. Hear a story of how we defeated the issues, as well as the somewhat sad UX compromises we were forced to make for the hard cases.

A good grasp of C is rather useful when it comes to improving LibreOffice. However, in the project there are vital roles and tasks that do not involve writing C . This talk explores these other ways of contributing.

LibreOffice has builtin support for working with encrypted documents since a long time (with some recent improvements adding OpenPGP support). Further support for more fine-grained control of what a user can do with access-restricted documents was though missing. Come and see what recent improvements we implemented for LibreOffice 6.4 and 6.5, to permit fine-grained access controls to individual LibreOffice documents, matching the feature set of MS Rights Management Solution.

Styles are the essence of a text processor. And while experts love to unleash the power of LibreOffice Writer, it’s at the same time a major source of nuisance. In particular when you receive documents from other people, it can be quite difficult to understand the applied formatting and to fix issues around. This talk presents two ideas for an improved feedback.

LibreOffice is free and open source office suite software that is very popular today. LibreOffice is almost used in various user segments, ranging from personal, community, education, and even companies. It would be very interesting to be able to have LibreOffice specific themes for each segment. For this reason, we (LibreOffice Indonesia Community) took the initiative to create a special extension to manage themes in LibreOffice, we call it LO-TC (read: Lotis) LibreOffice Theme Changer.
