In issue 86520 pl asked:
> And what kind of document would Cmd-N open then ?
1. OOo start centre is 'close to' a new Text document, Spreadsheet,
Presentation, Drawing, Database, or Formula.
2. For those six file types, specifically, we already have command-T -S -P -D
-A -F respectively.
3. I see now (release candidate 4) that command-N produces a new text document
_but only if_ OOo start centre is in foreground.
So: (2) and (3) are inconsistent.
If command-T produces a new text document when OOo is first launched (think:
first impressions), so command-T should produce a
new text document when windows are closed. And so it does; instinctively this
feels good, consistent :)
If command-N produces a new text document when OOo is first launched, so
command-N should produce at least *something* when
windows are closed. But it does not; instinctively this is unexpected, a
frustration :(
= Suggestions (refined, based on new observations) =
a) If no windows are open, then command-N should do something: present OOo
start centre seems (to me) to be an ideal closest
thing to a new file of any sort
----
For a user who may dislike suggestion (a) you might add to OOo:
b) a preference, through which the user can (for example) decide that in the
absence of windows, command-N should present for
them a text document. Or if (for example) the user creates presentations more
often than text documents, they might prefer to have
command-N present a new presentation.
----
That (b) above could be a future refinement, for power users. Non-essential.
IMHO it's more important to _never_ have command-N unrecognised; so suggestion
(a) should be a priority.
Thanks for consideration
Graham
