--- Comment #2 from Joel Madero <jmadero.dev@gmail.com> ---
I really think that you all should talk to users about their experience with
the tool (ping the user mailing list for instance). The way I use it is how
*many* people use it - so to say we are using it wrong, means that the tool is
designed in a way that makes it intuitive to use it wrong which is a problem in
and of itself.

This notion that because it was designed this way it should never change is
just silly - join QA channel and ask for input there (I've spoken with 5+ in
that room, and we are all contributors) who agree that the current behavior is
counter-intuitive. I also pinged the user mailing list and had multiple users
agree that it's not intuitive. Lastly, there have been a couple other bugs that
described the same problem.

So - while you may say I'm wrong for using the tool this way, I'd respond with
"then make the tool more intuitive."

If the goal is to get users to use styles more - I'm afraid the job is not
going well. I would never recommend users to use styles with how they currently
function - I use LibreOffice daily for legal work, I contribute both in QA and
other places, etc.. etc... and I'm thinking about not using styles any more
because I'm *constantly* having to interrupt my workflow and do ctrl+m.

Anyways - I think my proposed solution could work for everyone.
