Bug ID: 95807
Summary: Wish: left and right align within the same line
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.0.5 release
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: libreoff...@richardneill.org
It would be really nice if there was a straightforward way to have
2 parts of the *same* line of text respectively left- and right- aligned.
For example, consider a document with lines such as:
---
This is the main text, in black #this is a comment in grey
---
It would be nice to able to just use the align-left and align-right (or Ctrl-L
and Ctrl-R) functions to do this.
This is something it would be really useful to do, and it is extremely widely
searched for: I found hundreds of people asking the question, e.g.
http://superuser.com/questions/757575/multiple-text-alignments-on-one-line-in-libre-office
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=49577
Yes, I know there is a way to do this in a kludgy manner using tab-stops, but
it should have a nice simple GUI method. At the moment, most "normal" users
resort to padding everything with manual spaces, which is ugly inelegant and
unreliable.
One way to "overload" Ctrl-L , Ctrl-R to do different things could be:
* If the whole line is selected:
* or no part of the line is selected (just the cursor placed there)
* or the selection is in the middle of the line.
* or the selection goes over multiple lines in a paragraph.
=> apply the alignment to the entire line.
* If just part of the line, up to the right[left]-most character is selected
=> apply the alignment to the right [left] part of the line only.
