    Tickets/Topic
    
     * Mode for text marking
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137494
       + cyclic selection behavior with F8 (Stuart)
       + good idea, last step should be None (Thomas)
       + sounds good (Cor)
       + Extended Selection (F8)
    https://help.libreoffice.org/6.0/he/text/shared/02/20050000.html?DbPAR=SHARED
    could be removed; or we use alt+F8
       => let's do it
    
     * Move single control in "More Options" to print dialog
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137506
       + keep Order label but move "more option" into the section (Heiko, Cor)
       + Print in reverse order should come first,
         [x] Collate should stay behind the number of copies (Cor)
       => do it
    
     * Insert "Formula" command in Writer appears twice for different UNO commands
       in Customize Keyboard
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137481
       + .uno:InsertFormula (math expression) / F2
         + (Insert) plain formula
         + (Show) formula bar
         + (Enter) math equation
         + (Insert) Text formula   <<<<
       + .uno:InsertObjectStarMath (Math module) / Insert > Object > Formula
         + (Insert) Math formula
         + (Insert) Mathematic Object
         + (Insert) Formula object  <<<<
       => do it
    
     * Duration an delay of the effect attached to an object reset after changing
       the effect
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137537
       + treat animation attributes as user settings and remember last choice or
         accept resetting to the default
       + object attributes are taken from default values in general (black font,
         straight lines, no shadow) (Heiko)
       + but Impress is special in that regards user have to play with
         properties (Cor)
       + apply to all properties or just the delay and duration? (Heiko)
         + just the delay and duration (Cor)
         + and setting any animation to any other object, is not involved, so
           keeps to get the normal defaults
       + default values should be reviewed (Sascha)
       => do it
    
     * Impress: Add Accent drawing styles
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137586
       + maybe for "Text" drawing style but not duplicated for A0 and A4
       + Accent is basically a kind of character style, since we don't
         have it in Draw/Impress adding drawing styles for all combinationds
         makes not  much sense (Cor)
       + easy to add for users (Heiko)
       + aren't styles stored with the template? should be (Sascha)
       => don't add Accent to the default list of drawing styles
    
     * add option to disable splash screen
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137581
       + a) drop the splash screen completely
       + b) toggle --nologo switch into --showlogo (and disable the spash by that)
       + c) add an additional (expert) option to do hide splash
       + d) keep as it is
       + -nologo sufficient (Timur)
       + many apps do have splash screens (Andreas)
       + Not worthy work to do. Keep it as is. (Rizal)
       + Removing the splash only gives an impression of a faster start-up, but it
         isn’t really measurable in a reliably reproducible way. Some people only
         want it out because it isn’t “fashionable”. (Adolfo)
       + agree to remove splash screen (Ahmad)
       + usage in companies should be taken into account (Cor)
       + disabling by default (solutions a and b) probably lead to regressions (Cor)
       + we already do have an option, so clearly a NAB/WFM (Cor)
       + what is the splash good for (Sascha)
         + all types of communcation, identifcation/branding
       + splash is hidden very fast and nothing is readable (Sascha)
         + disable; use --nologo by default
       => keep the ticket open, bring it to the ESC
    
     * Calc Find toolbar should have "entire cell" checkbox, same as
       Find/replace dialog
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133833
       + add this option or keep the quickfind bar simple?
       + no string preference, quite full right now (Cor)
       + would like to see highlight in the quickfind bar and agree to
         rather keep it simple (Sascha)
       => resolve as WF
