Priority: medium Bug ID: 77261 CC: libreoffice-ux-adv...@lists.freedesktop.org Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Summary: Cut / Copy / Paste buttons clutter the standard toolbar while encouraging poor practices Severity: enhancement Classification: Unclassified OS: All Reporter: simplecontr...@gmail.com Hardware: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Version: Inherited From OOo Component: ux-advise Product: LibreOffice The Cut, Copy, and Paste buttons should be removed from the standard toolbar for a couple of reasons: The first reason is that they take up unnecessary space in the standard. Cut, Copy, and Paste is almost ALWAYS done using either the right-click menu or keyboard shortcuts. So it's unnecessary for them to be in the standard toolbar where they just add clutter. The second is that it could cause some confusion for new users, since the user must know exactly where the cursor is in order to paste something there. If a user doesn't know where the cursor is and decides to cut or paste something, they're going to have a bad time because the thing they are trying to paste into the document is going to end up at a seemingly random part of the screen. So the toolbar entries should be removed to prevent this confusion. The third is kind of a philosophical reason. The point of the toolbar is to make certain actions quicker (and possibly more accessible). Using the toolbar for cutting and pasting, however, is actually slower than the right-click menu alternative. In addition, the cut, copy, and paste entries are one of the few things that everyone knows are in the right click menu--there's no need to make them any more accessible. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
