[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 153749] Allow entering textbox edit mode with single click instead of double-click
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153749 --- Comment #10 from Eyal Rozenberg --- My 2 cents: I oppose changing the global default; oppose extending quick-edit-mode to charts based on comments above; but perhaps extending it to other textboxes in Calc and Write makes sense at least for better consistency. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153749 --- Comment #9 from Eike Rathke --- Ah sorry, I was wrong on this, we already go into text edit mode on charts after a single click *when typing* or hitting F2. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153749 --- Comment #7 from Eike Rathke --- I think it's a bad idea for Calc as with Charts you'd end up unwillingly entering text into the chart's drawing object frame. There are already cases on the Ask site where people managed to enter text (apparently after a double click) without remembering how and then didn't know how to get rid of it (simply editing the draw object again isn't obvious). But then again, maybe with a single click it would be more obvious.. though selecting the object (single click) is more done to move it and having to use the borders for that would be cumbersome. Maybe differentiating between Chart drawing objects and shape drawing objects would be a possibility, but how many times are shapes with text used and edited in a spreadsheet.. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

However, Impress/Draw has the option General > Allow quick editing which detects whether the cursor is over text and goes directly into edit mode if checked (see also bug 106330). Now I wonder if we can add this behavior to Writer/Calc. Eike, what do you think? The question is frequently asked, see bug 107688 "Accessing the textbox of a selected shape is a bit counter-intuitive and inconsistent", but also somewhat controversial, see bug 154409 for "A single click on a shape/image with frame should select the frame, instead of the image". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Reports that focus on a specific issue are a lot more likely to be actioned and resolved. I am refocusing this one on "single-click to edit", and you can open a new report about default colours if you'd like that to change.
