Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 1257
Change how 'allow quick editing' works
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:33:20 UTC
When 'allow quick editing' is selected you have to be careful where you click in the shape, depending on whether you want to edit or move. This is a bit distracting. It would be easier if it was similar to Visio (which isn't perfect either, but is a little easier). In Visio, if you click on a shape, it is selected and can be moved regardless of where you clicked. You can then start to type, which replaces the existing text or adds new text if there isn't any existing. If you want to edit the existing text then you have to double-click. A more useful scheme would be to allow double click and typing as above but also to enter edit mode by pressing the Enter key. This should preserve the existing text and place the cursor at the end of the text. Thanks, Ed.
Hello Lutz, here is another enhancement.
Falko, please handle this RFE.
Hi Christian, what do you think about this?
In my opinion the possibility to edit text like in Vision (PPoint does have this feature, too) is a great idea. But I can't support the idea of switching into edit mode by pressing enter. This a little bit to much like a word processor. If a text is alredy in an object, it should be possible to jump to the end of the text by doing these steps. 1. Select Object 2. Press Enter -> Text is selected 3. Curser right -> Cursor jumps to the end of the text.
Ok, on it.
This issue is yours so I change it back to you.
Still on it.
