[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2020-Mar-11

Present: Sascha, Heiko
Comments: Regina, Dieter

Tickets/Topic

 * Measurement settings are separate for each module - make it to one
   setting LibreOffice -wide (edit)
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40656
   + move Tools > Options > (Module) > Measurement Unit to
     Tools > Option > Language (Heiko)
   + keep separate since modules might need special units (Regina)
   + agree with Regina (Sascha), sane default used via locale
   + cannot follow the idea to specify the page size in Draw in pt
     and in Writer in cm, for example (Heiko)
   + would prefer one default and individual settings for each control,
     see bug 72662 (Heiko) (see also bug 44267 and bug 134448)
   => comment with recommendation to make it a duplicate

 * Keyboard accelerator & shortcut assignments -- review divergence
   from MS Word for reasonable common use cases [accessibility]
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65911
   + we neither have a shortcut for character style (CS)
     nor the paragraph style (PS); MSO has no shortcut defined for PS
   + using D makes no sense neither having no shortcut for PS (Heiko)
   + ctrl+D is occupied by double underline, which is not needed
     shift+ctrl+D Right-To-Left
   + Using it quite often with Alt+P for paragraph style,
     Shift+Alt+P for page style, and Alt+C for character style (Sascha)
   => go for it as easyhack

 * Change default pen color and width for presentation
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135364
   + store the last setting is the way to go (and we do so)
     but do we need to change the default?
   => no need to change the red and normal

 * Mark the page gutter area in the preview in the page layout dialog
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140581
   + draw the gutter area with hatching like MSO?
     + requires to pimp the preview so document canvas
       and document content are shown as such
   => no objection to adopt the MSO solution

 * Feature request: Collapsible objects in Normal view
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140569
   + not a good idea in normal mode (Dieter)
   + don't see need for a special handling beyond
     outline content visibility (Heiko)
   => comment
