Tickets/Topics

 * Calc editing - autofill step-size: suggest no increment if the sequence
   initially contains only one cell.
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94669
   + autofill for single cells continues (1,2,3...) and the request is to
     continue (1,1,1...)
   + not wrong, known behavior, copying is simple, WF (Justin)
   + Excel and GSheet do as requested (Ruediger)
   + Excel offers options what to do (Ruediger)
     + like that (Adi)
   + Calc always does +1 for lists even wrongly for 1,3,5 (Heiko)
   + would expect what is requested in the ticket (John, Adi, Heiko)
   + look up one field and take this as basis for the increment (Ruediger)
   + get more input from experts (Cor)
   + with ctrl pressed the selected cells are copied, so the expected
     behavior works out of the box (Ruediger)
   => accept

 * Integrate Auto Text to gallery sidebar
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147344
   + unclear use case for this request
   + sidebar should be plain in general, and autotext is not really
     a gallery item; plus, scrolling through a list and picking an item
     and drag it into the document is way slower than entering a few
     characters and pressing F3
   + but it improves discoverability (John)
     + but not too much, see Sounds (Heiko)
   => WF

 * Excel keyboard shortcut bindings for Calc
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98255
   + would be nice to have an easy transition (Adi)
   + could be part of tools > options > calc > compatibility > key
     bindings (Cor)
     + not the same function as customization (Heiko)
   => extra topic, no decision needed

 * Keyboard shortcut conflict: Ctrl+F5
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146906
   + in Base, ctrl+F5 enters the "form input mode" and tab jumps through the
     different text boxes, for example
   + ctrl+F5 toggles the sidebar in Writer, Calc etc.
   + accessibility topic, would be nice to discuss with experts (Ruediger)
   + is there an industry standard (Adi, John)
   + assign uno:ToggleControlFocus to alt+F5, shift+ctrl+f6 or leave empty?
   + shift+ctrl+f6 is disabled and cannot be assigned; alt+f5 is free
   + alt+f5 switches to window mode in Ubuntu and Windows (Ruediger)
   => use shift+ctrl+f6

 * UI: Default file format on export mess (Draw:GIF; Calc: WEBP:
   Writer:EPUB; Impress:PDF)
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147373
   + Draw: TIF, Impress: WMF, Calc: XHTML and Writer:
     "Writer Indexing Export" (Tomaz)
   + probably randomly chosen (Lubos)
   + PDF and EPUB are listed in special menu and could be removed anyway,
     would use PNG in all modules (Heiko, Cor)
   + Writer and Impress/Draw: PDF, Calc: PDF or CSV (John, Ruediger)
     + "Export As" is just a shortcut to what is available in the export filters
