This is indeed a step in a good direction for me, but it still requires a
sidebar which takes up lots of space.

What I suggest here is to duplicate for character styles the toolbar item which
allows to apply paragraph styles. I would like to be able to remove all toolbar
buttons for "local character formatting" (bold, underline, text color...) and
just have a combobox for paragraph styles and one for character styles. Once
the styles are defined this would allow to use styles for all formatting in a
consistent way (which is quite important for scientific papers or anything
where one wants some kind of "semantic" formatting.


Let me know what extra information would be needed if any, and what I can do to
help (I can code, but I have limited time at the moment, and no knowledge of
the codebase).
