OpenOffice.org
Shortcuts
The shortcuts in OOo
- should be aligned to well-known shortcuts and behaviour
- should be consistent throughout all modules
I already wrote a proposal for the harmonization of shortcuts in respect to
Format style and Format style catalog
Format style and Format style catalog
- should be consolidated into one compound dialog window
- should be unified throughout all modules (in terms of naming)
- all controls / functions need to be accessible with keys in order to allow quick changes
- should represent the format itself
- should emphasize the hierarchy from the beginning
Color management
It is a well known issue that the color dialog should be enhanced for
- easy choice of attractive harmonized color palettes
- easier setup and handling of colors
- better reflection of the different color selection schemes (RGB, CMYK, Pantone, HKS etc)
Reasonable default formats
The default formats are not obeying the "laws" of properly typeset texts.
Headings, for example are neither set bold nor are they set in italics / slanted. The only allowed emphasis is the modification of the text size—the exception proves the rule here. A reasonable default formats for headings—besides the fact that chapter numbering should be turned on by default and should have a nice basic numbering style—would be
- Heading1: 120 %
- Heading2: 110 %
- Heading3: 105 %
- Heading4: 100 %
Same applies for number formats. Percentages have to have a space between the number and the percent sign. The same applies to plus and minus. Reasonable formats would be:
#,##0.00;[red]- #,##0.00 0.0 %;[red]- 0.0 %
OpenOffice.org Calc
OpenOffice.org Draw / Impress
There is no real reason in having separate names for one powerful module—otherwise we could end up with OpenOffice.org Letter, OpenOffice.org Protocol etc.
