Tickets

* Repeat shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+Y) is too far for short-finger users using en (qwerty) keyboard
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129058
   + WFM (Heiko)
   + perhaps alt+Y (Stuart)
   + I always use TWO hands for that keyboard shortcuts =) (Roman)
   + keyboard issue for English, see also bug 115052 for other than English
   + Excel (or all MSO) uses F4 (or ctrl+Y) for "repeat last action" (but the
     same key also for redo)
   + shift+ctrl+r - cannot press it without hurting myself, ctrl+at+r works
   + alt+<key> should be reserved for hotkeys
   + keep it - common, usable (maybe not for everyone), consistent (Heiko)
   + more opinions needed (Roman)
   => no further input, WF

* Page sidebar: "Same Content" on header/footer sections is absolutely illogical
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129200
   + make it similar to the page dialog with checkboxes (Dieter)
   => go for it

* PRINTING: Change The Color of Print Preview Active Page Border
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129235
   + greenish background, triangles or printer icons in the background,
     light blue frame, different shadow...
   => let's try

* Draw menu entry: Shape or Shapes?
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129288
   + -1 (Heiko, Bogdan)
   + +1 (Stuart)
     + Shape --> Shapes, Sheet --> Sheets, Form --> Forms, Page (singular)
     + change all singular at once
   => trust the native speaker and do as Stuart suggest

Sirs,

please do not waste scarce coding resources on thoroughly trivial matters like colours and signage, but rather on making the programs more practical to use - such as for instance having the choice of typeface as a sdeparate item, not hidden inside the multiple format choices. Risking ostracism fro monotounous suggestions, I repeat my wish for sequential views of single pages with as little jumbling as possible of text and illsustrations when proofreading long documents

yours
