From the 'usage tracking' data of the 'find & replace' dialog we have learned that 76% of oo user just want to search inside the text, so we have to propose a fast & easy way to do so. Also it was often mentioned that the search & replace dialog covers the search area in an annoying way, so we must found an other solution for it. The other search settings like 'match case' etc. are used less than 0.1%, so we decided to leave them out in this toolbar, but like the replacing function they will still stay available in the find & replace dialog.

- Autocomplete involves the program predicting a word or phrase that the user wants to type in without the user actually typing it in completely. This feature is effective when it is easy to predict the word being typed based on those already typed, such as when there are a limited number of possible or commonly used words, or when editing text written in a highly-structured, easy-to-predict language.<br>- History remember former search strings (string listbox) .. often you search for the same words several times, so it can make sense to remember them (especially it they are long and complicated) and to make them available over a listbox in example to save the input of same phrases again and again. The history is deleted after closing the document (for privacy reasons) and only available in the document it was inputted.<br>

Context menu and menu customization dialog

Specification Status
Author Carsten Driesner (cd)
Last Change 25. Nov 2010
Status (Help) Preliminary

Abstract

The customization dialog for menus is not that intuitive as it could be. Thanks to the work from Ariel Constenla-Haile during the Internship 2010 context menus are now also customizable by XML files. Therefore a better design which covers context menus and menu bar customization is needed.

Motivation

There are several users who want to customize their work environment to their needs. Currently users can change the menu bar, toolbars and the status bar. Context menus are not available for customization although they provide easy access to context dependent functions.
