Bug ID: 169746
Summary: Improvement request to ALT-C in LO Writer and LO Calc
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In LO Writer and Calc, the FORMAT > CHARACTER (ALT-C) can be used to enhance
the presentation of selected text. The prompt Window provides the OK button to
confirm formatting choices. When pressing OK, the prompt Window is closed. It
would be very useful to have the prompt Window remain active so that other
characters can be selected and formatted.
Example: I wish to Strikethrough(Bold) a series of separate text items. At the
moment I must select and press ALT-C for each item.
Would it be possible to add an APPLY button to the prompt Window such that
formatting is actioned but the Window remains active for further changes. This
would also be consistent with other prompt Windows in LO.
(I have tried using the Properties Sidebar but many formatting options - e.g.
Strikethrough(Bold) are not available.)
Thank you for your consideration.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select text
2. Press ALT-C (prompt Window appear)
3. OK to confirm and close Window
4. Please add APPLY to confirm and keep Window open
Actual Results:
ALT-C only provides OK to confirm - which closes formatting Window. Wish to
keep Window open.
Expected Results:
Add APPLY option to keep formatting Window open
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Addition of APPLY button would also be consistent with other areas of LO, e.g.
Formatting Footer and Header in LO Writer
