Re: Atlantis. Off the top of my head:
Set color-scheme view to anything, including borders, etc. In full screen mode I have a screen that is totally black with nothing on it except my white text.

Fullscreen mode in LibreOffice --see screenshot.
I have never cared much about this sort of thing, so this is the limit of my knowledge. It is possible you can do a lot more with this, but I'd be the wrong person to ask regardless.

Very good keyboard shortcut customization. Very light system footprint. Tabbed documents. Menu system is configurable (so I can strip out anything I don't use). The list goes on.

Tools ==> Customize lets you configure the menu (but apparently not the context menu) and map an extensive list of Functions to shortcut keys. According to pacman, its install size is 342 MB not counting dependencies, but it is
quite snappy on my 10-year-old computer. (Then again, most things are, now I installed linux.)

And also I need a 3rd-party file manager (with tabbed windows). Several of these exist under Windows. Probably a solution exists under Linux, but again, it's a distraction to migrate. And the functionality may not be equal after all that...Windows has the most software.

Every file browser I have seen in linux does tabbing. Tabbing is a customization type of thing, and linux has always done that much better than Windows. The sheer ease of use with no configuration needed provided by linux file browsers out-of-the-box is one of the advantages of linux over Windows, because you never need to install a non-default file browser. It Just Works.
And if you are doing Crazy Things with a special third-party file browser for Windows, you can definitely do the same crazy things with a linux one like spaceFM.

Anyway, you don't need to use linux to use LibreOffice anyway.
