Bug ID: 158880
Summary: Let users select multiple toolbars at once to view or
hide
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.4.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Now, selecting multiple toolbars to view or hide is an iterative task, with
these steps:
1. Select "View."
2. Choose "Toolbars."
3. Tick or untick a toolbar.
4. (Repeat)
For multiple toolbars, this task is tedious.
The task would become simple if users were shown one "static" menu box allowing
them to make multiple choices at once.
So:
1. Select "View"
2. Select "Toolbars. . ."
3. Tick or untick desired toolbars.
4. Select "Close" or "OK."
5. (Done)
Helpful also to include would be the option "Untick all" (or "Hide all
toolbars"). Though generally useful, this option has a particular use case:
For Writer a much-requested feature is "split-screen" functionality -- that is,
the ability to display and work with the content of one file in two windows,
each showing a minimal interface. With Writer as it is now, the best way I know
of to achieve this is:
1. Choose the "Sidebar" interface.
2. Hide all toolbars.
3. Choose "Window--> New Window."
4. Manually position the two windows as desired.
For this use case, having steps 1, 2, and 3 (and perhaps 4) collapsed into one
command would be ideal. But at least having step 2 be close to a one-shot task
would help.
