Additional Info:
i am trying out libreoffice (impress) and i am sorry to say i am already disappointed. notes mode does exist, but its functionality is severely limited. first it is hard to access. dont know if xfce's fault but i press alt nothing happens i expect alt-v to open view submenu. that aside there is no shortcut even for switching modes. if somehow it is technically hard to implement an editable notes view, please implement a shortcut for switching mode. if it is a deliberate decision for notes view to cannot edit slide, i have to say i will be pretty disappointed because that is a poor decision that leads to inflexibility from my perspective.

that aside, if anything above is because of my ignorance please inform me, i really wish you guys to improve this project wholeheartedly
