Do they keep important state?
I seem to remember some conversations in which people did want some
of the dialogs to retain state. E.g., if you want to apply the same
settings to a sequence of paragraphs. But I'm not sure.
Or when you want to apply the same settings to a sequence of
selections.
Example: I spellcheck a norwegian text on computer science. Many
computing terms are english words and so they fail the spellcheck.
But the spellchecker also select them, so I simply hit "apply" in the
custom text style dialog, where "english language" is already
selected. This is an easy way of marking all the foreign terms, so
the spellchecker will match those against the english dictionary the
next time I update the document.
But you usually would keep the dialog open, wouldn't you?
Yes, I keep them open for such use.
