Bug #: 52335
Summary: Usability issue:
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 3.6.0.1 rc
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: narayana...@hotmail.com
There is a usability issue with the Keyboard tab of Writer's
"Tools>Customize..." dialog.
This GUI lists the Shortcut keys at the top, meaning you can browse through the
list and select a shortcut that may or may not be assigned already. (Inference:
If a shortcut is already assigned, you want to re-assign it to something else.)
So the workflow is like this:
Step-1: Select a shortcut.
step-2:Select a function.
* Step 2a: Select a category (this changes the list of functions)
* Step 2b: Select a function from this list.
Step-3: Assign by clicking "Modify" button.
* Alternative step: Press "Delete" to remove the assigned shortcut.
-------------------------------------------
There are two different usability issues with this workflow:
problem-1: The Modify/Delete buttons are at the top, instead of at bottom. So
the window is not designed according to the workflow. For step-3, you have to
go to the top of the window again.
problem-2: If you select a Category+function that already has another shortcut
assigned to it, your selection in step-1 is abandoned! What is the point of
selecting it if the subsequent step nullifies the selection?
-------------------------------------------
A new design is proposed (see the attached document). This design avoids the
two problems listed above, and also forces the user to follow the intended
workflow.
