[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2023-Mar-09

Present: Denisia, Eyal, Rizal, Heiko
Comments: Jan, Seth, Cor, Ady, Stuart

Tickets/Topics

 * Make Calc text hyperlinks stand out more
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153880
   + keep consistent with themes (Cor)
   + underlining is fine, no option needed (Denisia)
   => do it

 * [UI] Paragraph Heading levels & Text Body
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153735
   + rename the outline level “Text Body” to Body Text, No heading, None
   + Body Text would be fine, and is widely used (Denisia)
   + not logical and somewhat ambiguous with the PS Text Body (Eyal, Heiko)
   + [None] as it used across the app (Seth)
   => let's use "[None]"

 * Indicate slide direction when it is out-of-view
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149362
   + show indicators at what direction the active slide is
   + when focus is in the side pane pressing up/down scrolls (Heiko)
   + there is an info in the statusbar (Denisia)
   + implementing tdf#151170 makes this request obsolete (Heiko)
   + changing standard controls is mostly worsen usability (Heiko)
   + would retreat if the idea does not get support (Eyal)
   => resolve WF

 *  Revert commit of Bug 91415 - Scale Calc's comment indicator with
    zoom level (please, do not)
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153106
    + zoom out is supposed to make the indicator less overlapping (Ady)
    + triangles make better use of space than rectangles (Denisia)
    + triangles are visually appealing and the actual issue should
      be addressed differently, eg by hiding the indicators (Stuart)
    + triangles are fine but zoom is questionable (Eyal)
    + suggest to adjust the steps and/or make the indicator smaller
      rather than reverting (Heiko)
    + scaling supports a11y; and Google sheers has the same
      trouble (Denisia)
    + example with less dependency to zoom, accepted (Eyal)
    => go with a compromise with a small scaling factor and a slightly
      smaller indicator

 * Function Suggestion: hotkey contains 'serial' key combinations
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153302
   + would be an option, could help people with a large number of
     shortcuts, shortcuts with a hierarchy makes it easier to
     remember (Eyal)
   + hard to customize, feedback unclear, burden of implementation and
     maintenance, restriction not so simple, eg. ctrl+s followed by ctrl+o
     possible? (Heiko)
   + could be a nice extension (Eyal)
   + alt+mnemonics are sequential (Jan)
   + legitimate request, should remain open (Eyal, Denisia)
   => reopen and comment
