--- Comment #13 from Pedro <[email protected]> --- Created attachment 180056 --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=180056&action=edit Depicitng the Find toolbar as a potential HUD toolbar. In my opinion having by default the HUD only accessible by a keyboard shortcut effectively hides it away from the people that would benefit from it the most: novice users that don't know the location of all commands. Novice users use primarily the mouse and the UI instead of keyboard shortcuts. Yet the HUD is only accessible by a keyboard shortcut. Thus there is no way a novice user that does not even read the Release Notes of each new version know about this great feature. I know some people are allergic to implement reasonable well-thought UI paradigms if they were first implemented by Microsoft or Apple. But I believe I provided a decent reasoning about why this would be important. As for providing a HUD (or text field) in the Standard Toolbar or a button. I also agree with Roman that the text field is a better idea. And I don't understand what would be the blocker for this. As V Stuart Foote mentioned: this can be done by creating a HUD toolbar that could be enabled by default in the Standard Toolbar. I attached a picture of the Standard Toolbar with a potential HUD toolbar, based on the Find Toolbar in the position. Considering that the HUD toolbar is just a search box, it would occupy even less space as my mockup shows. But a similar box would have to be included in the Tabbed UIs. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
