While having a look at bug 86065 I saw, that we have two help pages:
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-GB/text/shared/02/20050000.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN
and
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-GB/text/swriter/01/selection_mode.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN

Perhaps the two help pages can be merged after adding menu entries.

Comment 5 Heiko Tietze 2022-02-15 06:57:51 UTC

The statusbar functions are in svx/source/stbctrls/selctrl.cxx, missing UNO commands like uno:SelectionModeBlock and uno:SelectionModeDefault. Don't see how the other options becomes activated, maybe per INetURLObject aObj( m_aCommandURL ).

Hossein, is this easy hackable? And shall we make the menu call UNO commands instead of doing some other magic?
