My name is Lee Powell, I'm a developer for Scrivener for Windows and Linux along with Tiho Dolapchiev. We're hoping, after trying to chase down some internal resources at Digia to no avail that this message board might be able to better assist with improving Qt's list item functionality in Qt5.
The reason for my post is to request at least a dash and star be added to list items - these are ubiquitous among text editors and which currently Qt does not support. We currently manage to trick Qt into drawing dashed list items by drawing the dash on top of the default style that Qt is drawing - which is not a great solution. Currently Qt is drawing list item decorations as drawing primitives (empty/filled circles and squares), but they can simply be drawn via a character symbol. It needs minimum, low risk change in Qt code to provide custom bullet symbols i.e. the following characters correspond to the following bullets: 0x25cf – Disc 0x25cb – Circle 0x25a0 – Square I know all you folks are busy as this is probably not a high community request, but if you would consider adding dashes and stars to list items at the very least that would be awesome. We'd be happy to implement first and raise a merge request with the qt repository for the text based bullet styles if Digia debs were not able to add the dash and star decorations. Please let me know your preference.
