--- Comment #10 from foss <[email protected]> --- my cents: I agree opposing clutter. I know this is unpopular with FOSS devs as they tend to wanting to serve every corner case. Moving this into a bigger perspective: atm, LO opens with top menu bars and the sidebar. I still feel the sidebar is rather disorganized and stated my reasoning while we were discussing Jay's mockups to clean that up. So while LO provides great features and options, it is really overwhelming to new users and users who "just want to write a letter". PROBLEM: The difficulty of course is finding a balance between offering a minimal feature set to standard users while not cutting functionality for expert users. The above problem is, why a simple icon addition as discussed here, causes those passionate principal discussions. Those are important. I somewhat believe we should have them in the call. But yesterday couldn't find the time to participate. In an ideal world the user would either use the sidebar or the top menu. OR Both would be used, but then having a lot of duplicate functionality is somewhat questionable. I have no easy solution to those problems, but wanted to chime in on this. Sorry it got longer than intended. About OSX: Caps locked: the caps button has an LED and if you press it, you see a yellow dot, thus no UI indicator in LO is needed especially not in the top menu bar which should be reserved for much more important functionality than this corner case. Remove vs replace: I stick to the default and never overwrite. There is indeed a fn key where the insert key is on windows keyboards (above the Remove key). Not sure what it does :( Summarizing, I agree with this request. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
