Bug ID: 92821
Summary: Editing - Navigation, actually
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.4.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Please may we have a feature found in MS Word that allows you to navigate to
the last four places where you edited stuff? If you have been editing a Word
document over here and then over there and then at the top and then in the
middle, you key Shift F5 and it takes you back to the previous editing points.
Word seems to keep up to four of these sort of temporary bookmarks at all
times.
This has another use: If you miskey a navigation key, like an arrow or page up
etc, and lose your place, then just use Shift F5 to come back to the place you
were at when you miskeyed. Lifesaving.
I once read that Shift F5 actually invokes a method of the Word Object that is
not normally exposed to mere typists, but I have never felt sufficiently strong
to study the full Word object model. Maybe implementing this enhancement can be
made easy if the Writer's object model has something similar.
Shift F5 has a second unsung use: if you were writing a fresh document and
saved it, next time you open it, being Word, it takes you to the top. Useless.
But hit Shift F5 and it takes you back to the bottom of the document where you
were when you saved it yesterday. This seems to be a special case, because the
other 'temporary bookmarks' are not also saved.
Of course, please keep to Shift F5 if you are able to implement this
enhancement.
