Scheenshot of the "Shapes" sidebar

LibreOffice Draw has a very useful sidebar named "Shapes" with which the user
can easily navigate and add all basic shapes into their drawings.

This sidebar would be very useful in LO Impress as well, because most
presentations have shapes as arrows, boxes, flowcharts, callouts, stars, etc.

Today, if the user needs to add multiple shapes into a presentation, he/she
needs to click on "Insert" and then select which shape to add (I am using the
tabbed interface). After adding the shape, the tabbed interface switches to the
Draw tab. Hence if the user wants to add more shapes, it is necessary to click
on Insert again. If the Shapes sidebar were available, it would be a lot more
productive for the user to prepare a slide with multiple shapes.

I would like to point out that this can't be achieved with the "Gallery"
sidebar, because the shapes I'm mentioning are not available there. Also, the
design of the Shapes sidebar is more adequate for this purpose, because the
icons are smaller and more options can fit the screen.

Thus, I would like to propose a simple enhancement, which would be to implement
the "Shapes" sidebar into LO Impress, exactly as it is on LO Draw.

I added an image describing exactly what I am talking about.
