Agreed with Daniel and Phil. The search could be used for no frequently used buttons, and there could be a section where the search results buttons can me placed in order to make easy to the user to use the functions he already looked for... Best regards, On Mon, Jun 13, 2011 at 9:49 PM, Xi

Search: useful for finding less common functionality, but not for common actions. One searches for information, rather than for a tool, and most people don't know that there's a tool for what they're trying to do, so they won't even think to search for it. However, combining search with a

Hi, I really like Patricks mockup (http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibreOfficeMockup.png), I had a similar Idea. The toolbar shoud contain only the basic features and the sidebar would show context-sensitive options, eg. the text formatting or diagram options. I also made a mockup:

Hi. Patricks mockup is very similar to Calligra (which i liked too). But i thinkthe search button and a easy configurable toolbar would be great. Also i think the left side options could interfere with unity, and i think it could have the same lack of the tabs in MSO because if you are

Hi Christian! I like the search idea, it's interesting and I think it should probably looked at in more detail at some point. However, the funny thing about search it's kind of tricky to implement because you need to second guess what the user actually wants to do. A search function for UI

Hi everyone. The ideas you're commenting are great. I also thought in a search bar from where you could activate directly some functions (activate bold, insert table, etc) I made a fast mock-up, sorry about many details in it, i hope the idea is correctly expressed. I uploaded it here (didn't

While the sidebar is definitely a better use of screen space for writer, it would be interesting to see how it plays with Calc where horizontal screen real estate is arguably more valuable than vertical (or at least as valuable). Microsoft actually considered putting the ribbon on the sidebar but
