Has the ease-of-use for hidden text been improved in the latest
version of LibreOffice Writer?
Specifically: Can the user select text and click a toolbar button to
hide/unhide text? This is how it’s done in MS Word--it's as quick and
easy as formatting text as bold, italic, underline, etc.
These below bugs suggest that others have found the implementation of
hidden text in OO Writer to be clunky and unnecessarily complicated:

Thanks for the question and links.
Are you familiar with creating extensions or basic?
The following code is a simple macro that toggles the attribute Hidden
of selected text.
Sub ChangeHiddenProp
Dim oSelection
' only use first selection in case of multi selection - TODO
oSelection =
ThisComponent.getCurrentController.getSelection.getByIndex(0)
' does not handle all kinds of selected text perfect ;-)
If oSelection.getEnd().CharHidden = False Then
oSelection.CharHidden = True
Else
oSelection.CharHidden = False
End If
End Sub
= = =
IMO a far better solution is to create a character style that is hidden,
and assign that to for example Alt-Shift-H.
HTH,
best,

Thanks for info!
