--- Comment #11 from Foss <[email protected]> ---
Thanks Dave, I now better understand your reasoning for keeping that dialog
open. Since I work with shortcuts cmd +k (OSX) to open that dialog is most
effective for me (even when editing a lot of links. Much easier than keeping a
dialog open and having to bring that back to focus (if it moves to the
background) or having that dialog take a way screenestate and having to move it
around to continue work on calc/writer. For me cmd+k is always faster. And
sorry for not going through the previous 37 comments.

But your point is valid. So I think we are at a point where we know what that
dialog should look like.

What about that help button? Imo not needed. This dialog is not about help but
about hyperlinks. It's rather uncommon to see additional help buttons. I'm all
for reducing stuff in LO, since there's the tendency to add and add until
things are rather confusing.

***TO SUMMARIZE***: Three buttons would do the trick
Order buttons from left to right with "ok" button pre-selected for easy
accessibility and option to close and apply the dialog with a single "enter"
stroke.

Ok (apply + close dialog, enter button)
Apply (apply change and keep dialog open, maybe cmd + enter could do this)
Cancel (ignore changes and close dialog) (Esc key stroke should trigger that)

Back and help are imo not needed. If you do something wrong you can always Esc
and cmd+k, which would ignore changes and re-open fresh dialog. I even could do
without an apply button, but Dave shows a use-case where if you are not into
keyboard usage / shortcuts, that may be easier for the user to apply and keep
dialog open.
