Bug ID: 169659
Summary: [Feature request] CALC - Improve description of
keyboard shortcut binding names
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Some names of keyboard shortcuts are not descriptive enough to see at first
glance what they really do.
My guess is that the function as well as naming of buttons found in the drop
down menus are copied. This makes sense for some buttons that are descriptive
enough by themselves (eg. "Export as PDF") but does not work very well for
others as their name only makes sense from where they are inside the menu (eg.
add -> Foot/Endnote -> Footnote)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the keybinding menu and search for eg. footnote
2. The text alone does not tell you what it does. There also is no description
displayed on hovering with mouse
Actual Results:
For eg. "Footnote" it does not tell you anything what the button does.
Add a footnote? Remove a footnote? Toggle visibility of footnotes? Open a
context menu where you can edit their style? Open some window in which you can
edit them all at once?
Expected Results:
The text of buttons is more descriptive when their name only makes sense if
they are nested in their menu structure.
So in the case given the name in the keybinding list could be "Add footnote"
instead of just "Footnote"
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
