Here is another suggestion ... this time less difficult to implement.

One thing that has been bothering me for some time now is that LibreOffice is 
not giving me enough freedom to customize everything I want to.

Users can create their own document templates, but we cannot create templates 
for charts or other objects. Defaults can be customized in LibreOffice, but the 
possibilities are very limited. The only thing I could find was options for 
charts and here only the colour table can be modified. But what about all the 
other options? Why not set the line width to 0.05 cm by default, instead of 
0.08 cm? Why not set XY-plots with points and lines as default? Why not set a 
certain colour for rectangles or ellipses as default?

Another thing is a general lack of options for several features. A current 
issue of mine in Calc is "paste copied cells by pressing enter" which is 
probably helpful for some people, but incredibly annoying for people that use 
enter to edit cells. Shouldn't there be an option to turn this 
"paste-behaviour" on and off?

I only mentioned things that concern me personally, but the list of options 
could be expanded to make everyone happy. The current list of options should be 
more extensive but a lot of options could be hidden in an "advanced" dialog to 
not scare away users who don't need all customizations.


Greetings,
DM


PS: If anyone knows how to change some of the mentioned things without 
programming knowledge, please tell me! Editing XML or similar files to change 
LibreOffice's default behaviour is not the best solution but I'd prefer it over 
nothing ... and I'd even dive into slightly more difficult things if pointed 
into the right direction ...
