Bug ID: 160504
Summary: Back (± Forward) buttons in Calc to navigate through
hyperlinks
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
There is no simple way to get back to the previous position in a Calc document
after clicking on a hyperlink
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on a hyperlink in Calc
2. Your cursor is in an completely other possition of the same Calc file
(same/other spreadsheet)
3. There is no simple way to get back to where you were before clicking on the
hyperlink
Actual Results:
please see other information below
Expected Results:
please see other information below
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
The request primarily concerns a Back button that would send you with one click
back to the previous position (=position of the previously clicked hyperlink)
after clicking on a hyperlink. There is no other way to achieve this: for
example the Navigator would offer you a long list of names, images etc in the
entire document, but no way to easily find and directly select the last element
you had your cursor on before the clicking the last hyperlink (if there happens
to be any at all).
Since Writer already has such a feature, it should be relatively easy to
implement in Calc as well. Since Calc also has hyperlinks like Writer, why have
Back/Forward buttons only in Writer and not also in Calc?
A couple of additions for the sake of better clarity:
1. This is not about springing among different files. A Calc hyperlink can also
be used to open another file (Calc or other), but the button I am referring to
would just get you back to the last hyperlink in the same Calc file
2. Actually the only important button is the Back button. Instead ot the
forward button, you can just click on the hyperlink again to move forward
again.
3. This does no need to get you back to the last modified position of the Calc
document, but the requested behaviour is just to get back to the last hyperlink
that was clicked. This should be much easier to realize.
