--- Comment #13 from Bob English <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Jean-Francois Nifenecker from comment #12) > In the side bar, select the styles pane... > > This is exactly what you're asking for, IMO. No it's not at all what I want, that method involves even more steps, and the view of the font in the display is too small, and can't be resized. I believe the intended use for the styles pane is much finer control, with the intention on also applying it to the style and anything already using it, not just a single word, line of text... selection, and even saving the style for later use, which you may have no need to do. What I would like, and cannot see why others wouldn't rather have too: 1. Select text in the document; Doesn't have to be a whole paragraph, can be more than one paragraph, and more than one style. 2. Click in the font dropdown in the toolbar: It's always there and out of the way, and It's best use is for quick changes and instant results of very common things one changes, not fine control and a plethora of options. 3. Scroll the mouse wheel or use the up/down arrow keys, and watch the font of the selected text change in the document itself (the font names in the dropdown do not need to be the selected font, but all the same as the rest of the interface). May I even suggest it to also suspend the graphical highlight of the text until the choice is made, so you get the full effect of what it will look like in context if and when applied. Once applied the text Highlight in the document is turned back on for reference and show it's still active to be changed, and until the text is deselected. 4. Only on command should the dropdown lose focus. The commands should be as easy as clicking in any other control to focus it, or in the document window where you want the cursor. Pressing [Enter] also applies it and places the cursor in the document window, just where it was before you changed the font. [Tab] should indeed advance to the next control in the toolbar, because you are already adjusting the font, and it's size and what not matter too, so it's a good feature. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
