Tickets

+ 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
 * UNO command to dock all toolbars

+ 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
 * Navigate document content when selection is made in the Navigator

+ 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

+ 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
 * Make Styles command (icon) on toolbar toggle the Styles Window (like F11 does)

+ 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
 * Bringing uniformity to styles shortcuts

+ 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"
 * Improve listing of (table) styles

+ 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)
 * 'Slide Design' dialog: rename check 'Exchange background page' to "Apply slide master to all slides"

+ 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
 * Area Fill update presets

+ 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
 * Find and Find-&-Replace need character auto-replacement to support string searches and replacements
