Bug ID: 167484
Summary: When no text is selected, font controls should reflect
the chosen keyboard layout
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.4.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Blocks: 83066, 129661
Currently, the settings in the formatting toolbar controls regarding font
(typface name, font size, bold, italic etc.) reflect the the character before
the caret. Instead, it should reflect the language of the currently-active
keyboard layout - if such a layout is defined and can be determined by LO.
Why? Because if one is interested is determining the previous character's font
details, one can always select it. But if one wants to tell which font will be
used for the next character, the only way to do so at the moment is either to
open the dialog or to type that character.
I believe users will be better served by being able to use typing and
(keyboard) selection only, to determine the font info for both of these objects
of interest.
Note: When I say "language", this effectively, and at the moment, means the
language group containing the language or locale associated with the active
keyboard layout.
