shortcut menu

Suggested new shortcut menu editing tool:

While editing a form select two or more controls.  Then right Click on them and a shortcut menu appears.  Add a Size tool.

Similar to the Align tools, add a "Size" set, as follows:

* Size to widest
* Size to narrowest
* Size to tallest
* Size to shortest
* Size to fit
* Size to grid

"Size to widest" makes all selected controls have the width of the widest selected control.  Size to narrowest, tallest, and shortest, are similar.

"Size to fit", is used for labels and fixed text boxes and makes the box just big enough for the contained text.

"Size to grid", increases the size just slightly to make item an exact multiple of the grid size.

These simple tools would make it much easier to accurately build and align complex forms.

Thanks!

Good idea, and I would bet this has been filed before but didn't found it. Anyway, please implement this feature.

Removing UX, moving to Draw, setting New.

Please add keyword 'needsUXEval' and CC 'libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org' if input from UX is needed.
