            Bug ID: 65462
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: Improve use of character styles
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.0.3.3 release
         Component: Writer
           Product: LibreOffice

Libreoffice has great support for styles in its backend but the GUI seems to
try very hard to discourage good practices, especially about character styles.
I would like to propose two changes, which would strongly improve the situation
for me:

* I am not aware of any way to apply character styles without going through the
style dialog. A toolbar button for character styles would be of great value for
me. It would fit well in the formatting toolbar (can be hidden by default)

* the "clear direct formatting" action removes direct formatting, but also
character styles, which is very annoying when trying to maintain a "clean"
document. It could be changed to preserve character styles, but then I imagine
that some people will ask for a "clean all character formatting" action, so we
probably need both.

On a related note, character style are completely absent from the GUI in
impress, which is quite frustrating as well!
