Summary: Not pasting number after copy from numbered paragraph
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.1.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
It would be nice to be able to configure whether the paragraph number is put in
the general paste buffer after copying text from a numbered paragraph.
An example may make that clearer. Suppose there's a numbered list:
1. item one
2. item two
3. item three
The user selects the word "one" and copies it using Ctrl+c. The user goes to a
non LibreOffice program's window, say a terminal emulator or a simple text
editor and uses Ctrl+v to paste. The pasted text is "1. one".
This enhancement request is to make LibreOffice configurable so, in the above
example, it would paste not "1. one" but "one".
Two use cases:
* A software procedure has been written in Writer with steps in a numbered
list. The text includes commands to be executed at the command prompt. The
existing LibreOffice behaviour means the user cannot copy commands from the
Writer document for execution in the terminal emulator without having to
manually delete the paragraph numbers after pasting.
* A Writer user wants to copy a few words from within a numbered paragraph,
strip applied formatting, paste and edit it. When they use "Paste
Unformatted", the applied formatting is stripped but the unwanted paragraph
numbers remain and have to be manually deleted. The "1. one" example above is
of this type.
* As above except the user wants to copy text including numbered paragraphs
(say lists and headings), strip applied formatting and edit it. When they use
"Paste Unformatted", the applied formatting is stripped but the unwanted
paragraph numbers remain and have to be manually deleted.
