Description lukas.wischounig 2016-08-16 10:54:51 UTC 
Move settings from Extras -> Options -> LibreOfficeCalc --> View to somewhere in the "View" Menu Bar for faster access

Please elaborate your idea a bit. The Calc options contain of 10 pages each with numerous options, mostly used only once in a while.

Hi Heiko!
I don't mean all options - only calc options that refer to the view. - e.g. highlight formulae, values etc. that refer to calc should be faster accessible in the view menu instead of beeing hidden somewhere in the depth of the properties .

Best Regards 
Lukas

We have a similar enhancement request for Writer in bug 99697. The view menu contains of a good number of options and we should aim for simplicity meaning only those options should be exposed to the UI that are toggled often (in case of "frequently" it's worth to put this feature into the toolbar).

WONTFIX from my side unless there is more interest (setting to NEW until the final solution).

In general I agree with Heiko. But maybe there is one or two that really make sense? Lukas?
Comment 5 Heiko Tietze 2016-09-22 14:51:31 UTC 
Setting WONTFIX since we did the same for bug 99697.

Hi lukas,

By default value highlighting and formulas are the only two that arent on by default in the options dialog and a value highlighting entry has always been in the view menu since 3.3 and I added a show formulas entry in master some time ago, so it will be available in the 5.3 release.

So just like Cor's request, are there any other ones that are highly toggled on and off that warrant addition into the view menu, as i tried them and dont see any.

@Eike: Any thoughts of what view options are worth easy access to toggle in the view menu?
