Hi I found this wish: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260055 It's about being able to assign shortcuts to styles. I think it makes a lot of sense from a usability point of view, when just looking at the overall idea However from a more technical point of view, as well as usability, it has some problems. Styles are not fixed. A new set of styles come with every document so it's not possible to assign shortcuts on a really permanent level. This may make shortcuts less attractive, as you would have to learn new shortcuts for every document. There are several solutions to the various challenges 1) We could have some kind of automatic shortcut system where it would assign say Ctrl+F1 to the first level 1 outline style it finds. Multiple presses could switch between multiple such styles. The same with Ctrl+F1 for level 2 etc. 2) We could let the user decide on a per document basis. If we store some sane defaults in the templates it may not be so difficult to remember, but documents from other source would have a problem. The shortcuts would have to be saved in settings.xml There are probably more problems and solution. One more approach we can use is assign a shortcut which brings up the style combobox. Once the combobox is up the styles can be filtered as the user types the style name. Please share your thoughts. /Boemann _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
