Bug ID: 167245
Summary: UI - Listbox dropdown dropdown on focus
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Base
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In Base Form there is control List box with property Dropdown.
When active it allows user to left click the listbox and dropdown menu will
show options he can pick using mouse/arrows/letters.
Note that arrows/letters can be used without user activating/seeing the
dropdown menu.
It looks like this dropdown menu can only be activated with a left mouse click.
I would like this dropdown menu to activate automaticly when listbox gets
focused(using TAB).
This could be by default or another option to turn on in properties of control.
Reason for this is to enable user to see his options while avoiding using
mouse. This will make the picking of option faster(hands stay on keyboard).
At the moment option(workarounds) are:
I could have a table next to listbox showing all the options, but that takes
extra form space for no reason.
Also if the list was big enough to not fit in table after pressing letter z(end
of alphabet) it would not automatically position view of the table to the
end(dropdown menu does).
OR
There is probably a way to achieve this feature with macro(not sure), but I
would like to avoid using macro when possible.
Considering this behavior (dropdown menu) works(is implemented) for left click
I would guess it would be "easy" to add when control is focused.
