Bug ID: 146023
Summary: Context menus in Formula Bar and in cell's own Edit
mode should be unified (as much as possible)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needsUXEval
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
In Calc's cells, right-clicking inside the cell (in Cell's Edit mode; when
there's no spellcheck errors) brings a context menu with:
Cut
Copy
Paste
--
Special Character...
Insert Field >
--
Synonyms >
--
Clear Direct Formatting
Character...
Right-clicking on e.g. hyperlink inside such cell gives additionally "Open/Edit
Hyperlink/Edit Hyperlink Location/Remove Hyperlink" related items.
OTOH, right-clicking on text in Calc's Formula Bar gives:
Cut
Copy
Paste
--
Select All
Special Character...
and right-clicking on fields does not add any related items.
There doesn't seem to be a reason for such a difference; all items (both
missing in cell's context menu, and in Formula Bar's one) are relevant in all
contexts; additionally, the ones that have accelerators (e.g., Ctrl+; to insert
date, or Ctrl+Shift+Space to select all) work in both areas.
So the proposal is to unify the context menus as much as possible (as far as I
can see, it should be unified completely, but *if* there's a command not
suitable for one of the areas, e.g. appearing in some context that I didn't
test, the rest should be still unified).
