Bug ID: 163447
Summary: One-step text highlight
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.2.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: me...@gmx.com
Description:
It would be useful to be able to use a keyboard shortcut and possibly a context
menu option to apply the default highlight to selected text with a single
click/keypress. That would work like Ctrl+B for Bold, Ctrl+I for italics etc.
At the moment, selecting 'highlight' on the toolbars or associating a key to
'highlight' brings up the menu for the user to select a color. In most cases
you want a quick way (eg single click with minimal movement of the mouse
pointer or a key press) to apply the highlight color already selected.
Microsoft Word with its floating context toolbar is much more efficient in
doing this, and it makes an enormous difference if you highlight a lot.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select text
2. Press key combination or click on context menu.
3. Get selected text highlighted with the pre-selected color
Actual Results:
Currently, there is no way to highlight text in one move.
Expected Results:
As above.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
NA
