Bug ID: 160799
Summary: FORMATTING UI [Accessibility] Eyedropper to select
previously used background color
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
In the box that lets you select the background color of a cell, it would be
nice if there was an eyedropper icon that you could click, that would select
the existing background color of a cell (this could apply to font color too).
I'm not colorblind, and even I have trouble differentiating between multiple
shades of green to pick the exact same green I used before. I can see that it
is wrong after I pick it, but then I have to pick it again. For someone who is
actually colorblind trying to work on an existing file made by someone else and
keep consistent colors.
I thought maybe the eyedropper was just missing from the drop down because it
isn't a modal, so the default behavior is to close when someone clicks outside
it. But even the Custom Color screen doesn't have that option.
So, I would add the change by:
Adding an eyedropper icon to the background color dropdown. When clicked, it
closes the dropdown and turns the users cursor into an eyedropper.
After they click a cell, the selected background color becomes the background
color of whatever cell they clicked and the cursor reverts to normal.
And that's it. And maybe give the option to blind that to a shortcut key, so if
you like hit CTRL+B, your cursor turns into an eyedropper, and the next cell
you click, it will 'suck up' its background color.
