--- Comment #40 from Heiko Tietze  ---
The topic was on the agenda of the design meeting.

Tagged the opinions of individuals here with plus/minus and we have a tie.

Having means to directly add the search term would be a great benefit (although
I remember Tomaz commenting somewhere else that this modification requires some
effort). But it comes on cost of space and we either accept the field to be
hidden on small screens or remove many commands to make space.

Placing the search field into the header bar as done by MSO is not possible. So
we better create a dedicated search tab at the sidebar where 
a) commands are listed in respect to the position at the main menu (as of
today),
b) the commands are shown associated with the term whether in the label or the
tooltip, and 
c) the search returns occurences in the document where the word is being used
(the quick search function).
This will effectively take the quick find into the sidebar.

In request in this ticket, asking for a search field in the Standard toolbar,
the recommendation is to close WF.

AFAICT the OP opened a bug report *about that*, asking to have a *text field*
tor the HUD instead of the button *that is only possible now* (mentioned in the
bug report title since comment 11); and then you recommend the OP to file a bug
report about that? If you imply that *originally* the bug was worded in a
different way, that's what bug tracker is: people with different ideas and
different understanding file what they want, and then the discussion transforms
it into a reasonable shape, which is now exactly "about it".

Ok, well - why not open a bug about that? i.e. having a separate UNO command,
or some kind of variant/option to the same UNO command, add the text field?
That would be less controvertial...

(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #35)

Note that such a decision should at least depend on the availability on
mnemonics (keyboard access) working with such a UI; e.g., when a menu is used
(which is active with toolbar UI), you may use F10 (Alt) to access menu without
mouse. Competition had never offered a UI without keyboard access to its
commands. Also note that keyboard shortcuts (Customization) is unrelated here:
what is required is keyboard-based navigation through the visible UI.

It's a hard decision Heiko, but in the long run, it will be the best one for
the future of LibreOffice.

TDF has no position, the team facilitates the work around LibreOffice. The ESC
usually gives favorable consideration to my recommendations, which I take from
user input, done at bug 135501. So I plan to change it (affects new

I do agree this is off-topic for this discussion, however, if there is a
difference between functionality between the classic and notebook bar version
then the default UI is an important consideration.

Not to be dismissive of your opinion but the muffin notebook bar tabbed
interface is the best option for new users coming to LibreOffice. The 'classic'
legacy interface is becoming an increasing detriment to the adoption of
LibreOffice.

Possible location for the HUD?

If there is not enough horizontal space at the top of the panel in classic mode
could it be moved to the bottom of the LibreOffice Window as in the attached
screenshot?

Positioning the command search at the bottom (like Firefox's 'Find in page')
was suggested for bug 91874. So sure, the Find toolbar might be pressed into
service for feeding the dialog.

But then for simplicity we'd suppressed the 'Navigate by' listbox on the Find
toolbar, searching text values by default, yet keeping the Find code common for
use in the Sidebar Navigator deck.

Seems a slippery slope requiring a lot of rework.

What if really use Find toolbar for that? With a "special" mode "search for

(Maybe it's a nonsense, I just saw the attachment 180056 wording ant figured

Regarding this statement:

'Since we want to make the Notebookbar/Tabs the default my take regarding the
classic UI is therefore WF.'

Is this now actually the direction that TDF intend to take? I think it makes a
lot of sense but clearly there is disagreement. Is there a timeline for how
long this migration will take?

Cheers,

John

Hi again Heiko,

What I wouldn't like to see is that this is rejected for the 'classic' toolbar
with a promise this is implemented in the notebook bar interface and then that
doesn't happen.

I would like to see it in both and there is a benefit for users of LibreOffice
if it is. If the display is below a certain pixel size can it simply not be
displayed? Is the interface responsive enough that this could be done? It seems
that the current 800-pixel limit is a detriment for serious changes to the
classic  UI.

Hi Heiko,

These only add up to 66% what are the missing 34%? It is very strange there is
no 1440 or 4k (2160) displays listed. 

By having the HUD to the right like Pedro showed in his mockup how would that
impact 800px display? Looking at that list only 24.5% are less than 800 pixels
wide on the desktop.

OS versions are cut off, at what point do you say modern applications should be
allowed to be 800 or more pixels as a minimum for the UI to be displayed
correctly?

I think the HIG needs to be examined again then if we can't change panels
because of a requirement to adhere to 1280px, 1600 x 900 has been a common
resolution for at least 5 years now, 1366 x 768 resolution even longer than
that.

I think your modern personality is 100% correct on this one ;-) This is a

Created attachment 180056
  --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=180056=edit
Depicitng the Find toolbar as a potential HUD toolbar.

In my opinion having by default the HUD only accessible by a keyboard shortcut
effectively hides it away from the people that would benefit from it the most:
novice users that don't know the location of all commands.

Novice users use primarily the mouse and the UI instead of keyboard shortcuts.
Yet the HUD is only accessible by a keyboard shortcut. Thus there is no way a
novice user that does not even read the Release Notes of each new version know
about this great feature.

I know some people are allergic to implement reasonable well-thought UI
paradigms if they were first implemented by Microsoft or Apple. But I believe I
provided a decent reasoning about why this would be important.

As for providing a HUD (or text field) in the Standard Toolbar or a button. I
also agree with Roman that the text field is a better idea. And I don't
understand what would be the blocker for this.

As V Stuart Foote mentioned: this can be done by creating a HUD toolbar that
could be enabled by default in the Standard Toolbar. I attached a picture of
the Standard Toolbar with a potential HUD toolbar, based on the Find Toolbar in
the position. Considering that the HUD toolbar is just a search box, it would
occupy even less space as my mockup shows.
But a similar box would have to be included in the Tabbed UIs.

A text field to search would be the ideal outcome, but if only a button to open
the search is possible then go with that. Better to have something rather than
nothing.
