Sounds like a good idea. Perhaps it works also with brackets directly after the label. Adolfo Jayme Barrientos committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=96e1fcbb41fdfa070f96dc7a6c8c9b9281de1e9d tdf#102769 Options: Display formatting mark chars next to their labels It will be available in 5.3.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.

5.2 vs Master
Looks good Adolfo except for the spacing after the formatting marks.
I can increase the spacing between the two columns of options (to 18, maybe?), but I wanted to drop the “homogenous” property because it’s evil. It makes dialogs grossly oversized in other languages (see, e.g., bug 95178). Is this okay for you? I will look at this again on the weekend maybe, as I need to work on this bug more anyway (when the “Tabs” checkbox is hidden, my patch creates an empty row due to my addition of the label “→”, and the code of this tab page needs to account for that label too when hiding the checkbox. Maybe somebody can help me out with that, to make it faster?)

Is this okay for you? Yes please do increase the spacing, though i think 30+ would likely look better. There needs to be less space between the checkbox labels to the characters than from the characters to the next column. |
Created attachment 127707 [details] mockup In the options dialog > LibreOffice Writer > Formatting Aids, it would be useful to show the formatting mark character next to the checkbox labels, so it visually easier to identify things.
