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 => comment on ticket
