Hi Bernhard,

to begin with - it is a real pleasure to work with you, e.g. to see this
progress :-)

For the Macros, this seems impossible at the moment ;-) I made a
screenshot to highlight the areas that refer to Macros (running,
selecting, ...):

Weird, or?

No, I think you're right. I had (again) a look at LibreOffice and the
play icon seems to be (very, very strange) connected with "Select Macro"
and "Select Module" (play + hand). Nothing worth to copy :-)

Okay, as you know, I still like the idea ... for our very first version
(perceiving some time pressure), this seems great and easy to alter
afterwards (if required).

Totally agree! Thanks for your work :-)

Cool idea, let's see whether it can be put together ...
