    Tickets
    
    * UNO command to dock all toolbars
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131005
    + adding UNO commands is easy but hard to remove later
    + push (Cor), abandon/wait (Heiko), unsure (shivam)
    => better abandon
    
    * Navigate document content when selection is made in the Navigator
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131063
    + single or double click for default action (go-to)
    + con: usually the default action (go-to) is done by double click
    + con: single click blocks context menu for not active object
    + keep the context menu could be done also by special handling of right button
    + con: breaks flow where you work in Headings-part, and select e.g. an image or work in a table
    + con (by another user in BugZilla): I'm split as single click default action makes a pure
    selection impossible. For example, you cannot promote a chapter without jumping to it. Or rename a shape.
    + pro: weird situiation when a different item is selected as the active position;
    wouldnt be an issue with single click
    + similar issue with styles & formatting where single click does not apply the style
    
    + rather a different topic IMO (Cor)
    
    + pro: in document selection is a single click and changes the Navigator
    
    + with no clear need, let's not break the known behavior, present left and right (Cor)
    
    + tend to weight the pro higher (Heiko)
    + the other way round for me; will likely hate it (Cor)
    => comment with this consideration on the ticket
    
    * Make Styles command (icon) on toolbar toggle the Styles Window (like F11 does)
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130441
    + toggle on/off is not switching from any other tab
    + many very similar commands, confusing for users (Heiko)
    + +1 (Stuart, Cor)
    => go with the change
    
    * Bringing uniformity to styles shortcuts
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98333
    + final decision would be good; either WF or green light
    + Shift+Ctrl+Anything requires two hands (Eike)
    + -1 to any major change of shortcuts unless tdf#123768 is done (Heiko)
    + agree with WF as users are familiar with existing shortcuts (Cor)
    => WF
    
    * Improve listing of (table) styles
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130953
    + we have styles stored in the current document vs. permanent styles (Maxim)
    + some ideas: styles from the current document in italic, with an icon up-front...
    + paragraph styles are always stored in the document, problem would vanish
    when we get rid of the autoformat dialog (Cor)
    + extensions could add more styles
    + another option for TS could be to show it after a spearator
    => focus on TS and get rid of autoformat dialog => DUP to "get rid of autoformat dialog"
    
    * 'Slide Design' dialog: rename check 'Exchange background page' to "Apply slide master to all slides"
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84342
    + "Apply to all slides (with similar Master as the selected slide)"
    + better use shorter label and tooltip
    => accepted (Cor)
    
    * Area Fill update presets
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130928
    + which pattern and how many, see c7f.
    + too many defaults make it difficult to find the right item (Cor)
    + patterns are not easy to create and more presets make sense (Andreas)
    => go with the new pattern list
    
    * Find and Find-&-Replace need character auto-replacement to support string searches and replacements
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91030
    + search also for auto-replacements when looking for something like an apostrophe or WF
    => search not only for the actual chars but also potentially autocorrected
