Yes, i agree that some things are not so easy to do in other languages

I agree in that typography is important. But there are some differences
from language to language.
One common problem is that the keyboard in fact does not have the double
quotation mark. The Shift 2 key combination is (in Norwegian at least)

If so, perhaps someone will write a sequence telling how to install it?
I do not know when LibreLogo was included in LO. Perhaps some of the

The same grammatical construction also applies to English. (IOW, your

That's a reference to an old saying: "Perfect is good's worst enemy" (or
"Perfect is the worst enemy of good"). Sort of the same thing as
paralysis by analysis -- if you spend too much time striving for
perfect, you don't realize when it's good enough.
