Present: Sahil, Heiko
Comments: Regina, Roman, Miguel, Stuart

Tickets/Topics

 * Context menu of cells in AutoFilter-filtered column should
   offer clearing the filter
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164322
   + Autofilter works on the entire column (Regina)
   + shortcut to open AF widget, bug 123560 (Roman)
   + clear AF from current column is available in Excel (Heiko)
   + still believe the AF button on top is sufficient (Sahil)
   + how about large content where the focus is somewhere down
     below the top row given the user does cannot freeze it (Heiko)
   + niche use case, but adding a UNO command wont hurt anyway (Sahil)
   => do it

 * Can't easily clear the current multi-column filters (without
   removing autofilter altogether)
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164321
   + Filter by condition > Standard filter > Clear (Miguel)
   + Data > More Filters > Reset Filter is not intuitive (Eyal)
   + feature is easy to find (Heiko)
   + separating the filter types means to add complexity to the
     function itself since AF AND/OR/NOR/XOR... SF could happen (Heiko)
   => existing methods are sufficient, NAB/WF

 * Paste unformatted unless clipboard contains multiple cells or
   source application is part of libreoffice
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164504
   + plenty of UNO commands to customize, WF (Stuart)
   + option to either paste or paste special similar to the
     envisioned quick search at toolbar or sidebar (Heiko)
   + sounds like over-engineering; prefer user customization,
     which works nicely (Sahil)
   => NAB/WF

 * Replace button wall with a context menu in new Macro manager
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164142
   + inline icon for most frequently used functions (Eyal, Sahil)
   + context menu for a11y as well (Heiko)
   => share mockup
