[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 106681] Feature Request: Ability to assign character styles to toolbar buttons...

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106681

--- Comment #32 from Thomas Lendo <thomas.lendo@gmail.com> ---
I support what Regina said in comment 22 and comment 29, point (1): Make it
possible for users that want do it by themselves.

All other ideas (changing anything in toolbars etc.) that UX people avoid like
the plague (fürchten wie der Teufel das Weihwasser) must be handled in new bugs
and shouldn't result in closing THIS bug.

This would be the optimum for that bug!

The overwriting is was users expect, that know was styles and soft-formatting
are doing.

Here we are ...
