    Tickets/Topics
    
     * Keyboard short cut to traverse over open modules
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147219
       + could be a UNO command to access uno:WindowList or
         some Alt+W+<number> mnemonic (Heiko)
       + isn't it a question of the OS, eg. alt+^ switches between
         windows of the active application in Gnome (Cor)
       => function welcome, comment on ticket
    
     * MASTER DOCUMENT: In navigator 'Insert -> File' should be
       'Insert -> Text File' to be more precise
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153666
       + agree with renaming (Dieter)
       + Insert from the popup menu is the same as Insert > Text
         from File... and unifying the labels makes sense (Heiko)
       + "Insert > Insert from File" replaces the current text while
         Insert > File adds the document into a new section (Cor)
       + rename to "Text Document" to make it clear what type of
         document can be loaded (Heiko)
       + could be misunderstood as ASCII text or RTF files (Cor)
       => resolve WF/NAB also to keep the help
    
     * In Writer, there should be 3 types of hyperlinks
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153740
       + somewhat over-engineering (Dieter)
       + if, it should be done for all types (Stephane)
       + easy-hackable (Jim)
       + some options like a) different underlining, b) split the
         hyperlink section in the navigator, c) add icons (Heiko)
       + a) not so good, b) could have merits, c) clutters (Eyal)
       + hovering over the entry shows the type (Cor)
       => use case needed to make coding necessary
    
     * Request: Rename "Square" gradient to "Rectangle" gradient in the UI
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154071
       + a) "Square" -> "Rectangle", b) "Quadratic" -> "Quadratic (square)"
       + +1 for a) -0.5 for b) with the explanation in brackets (Heiko)
       + needed for transition (Regina)
       + agree with both (Eyal)
       + we need to make sure that renaming wont affect legacy documents (Cor)
       + "Rectangular" and as a compromise "Square (Quadratic)" using the old
         name in brackets (Heiko)
       => do it
    
     * Impress: Improve search for animations
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149015
       + easy-hackable (Caolan)
       + consistency is prime (Eyal, Heiko)
       => do it
    
     * Bring back the transparency option
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154140
       + moving this option into expert settings make sense (Heiko)
       + it's also about accessibility (Andreas)
       + option is not specific to Calc; was probably added to deal with
         performance issues with transparency back in the year dot (Cor)
       + if it is a FAQ we should consider to bring it back (Cor)
       => will ask for more info (Cor)
