--- Comment #16 from Daniel Hulse <simplecontr...@gmail.com> --- Cut and paste buttons are not vital. They are always in the contextual menu. I challenge you do find an instance where they aren't. Why should Libreoffice encourage a workflow for this function that is different from most other software? Cutting and Pasting are not the same kind of "important functions" as creating a new document, opening, saving, or even opening the navigator or another important widget because they are necessarily contextual. There is no way of cutting or pasting that doesn't rely on either selecting something with the mouse or having the cursor in a specific location. The poor practice that placing this functionality in the toolbar encourages is not placing the cursor in the correct spot before pasting something into the document, which can be frustrating. "I wouldn’t like LibreOffice becoming another dumbed-down app! Honestly!" Really? Are you saying you want LibreOffice to be complicated and difficult to understand? As for Mac users, they can use keyboard shortcuts and the global menu, just like they would in iWork. "So we can expect proposals too to remove buttons to insert a table, an autotext, a chart, insert a whatever ?" No, because there isn't a better, commonly used way to do that like there is with copy and paste. At the same time, though, why shouldn't we be scrutinizing what buttons go in the standard toolbar? If you look in the links Heiko added, you'll find that it mentions in the conclusions that "toolbars should be tidied up, e.g. removing some seldom used function or merging some functions." The standard toolbar is beyond full--just look at what happens when you make the window take up half the page: Many important buttons are hidden, making that section of the toolbar nearly useless. In addition, how do you think it feels for a new user to open up LibreOffice and see a wall of icons? It's intimidating, and prevents people from actually learning what all the buttons do. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
