readline VS LibreOffice

That's nice, were you aware of readline?

Do you want to build an interactive shell or a cli tool? For a custom shell I have used https://github.com/chzyer/readline before, but I did not work on it a lot.

I also wanted custom completions based on context and this readline implementation was decent for that.

On first glance, it seems like the Mac layout would be less convenient with Linux due to the alt/option key being further from the spacebar and more awkward to hit with your thumb. This makes a lot of commonly used keybindings (such as the standard readline keybindings, https://github.com/chzyer/readline/blob/master/doc/shortcut.md, commonly used in bash and other shells amongst other applications) harder to hit. Linux GUI applications use alt/option more frequently than super/command as well.

The authors keep a crib sheet here: https://github.com/chzyer/readline/blob/master/doc/shortcut.md

but that's the readline shortcuts which are the same no matter which Unix terminal you are using, on macOS, Linux, cygwin, git bash, WSL...

First of all, if you need to write a lot of files in the doc format, there's a lovely office suite called libreoffice! Also, cups is a decent print utility for most printers, I'd check that out as well.

Try LibreOffice or OpenOffice .

Both Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice are descendents of the original OpenOffice (what you're probably thinking about.)

LibreOffice is under very active development and can be downloaded from https://www.libreoffice.org/

Apache OpenOffice is effectively abandonware at this point, see https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Product_Release It's mostly been maintenance releases since 2013.

If you want LibreOffice with support (or just want to support development), you probably want Collabora.

If you need programs like office word excel and power point but offline try looking into Libre office
