Description Thomas Lendo 2017-11-27 12:03:48 UTC
The new Customize dialog has "All categories" as point in the Category list. If choosing this and starting a search by term in the Search text field above, styles (and soon) macros won't be found with this search.

Therefore I suggest to rename "All categories" to "All categories except styles and macros".

This is a small change in the UI. The search possibility (and what's not possible to search) shouldn't be handled only in the online help of LibO.
Comment 1 Heiko Tietze 2017-11-27 12:30:40 UTC
-1 from my side as this label is way too long and the phrasing 'except...' is very uncommon. We could go with "All commands", but I would rather/also separate those options (the styles/macro items look like an ordinary category) and searching depends on the chosen type.

In the end the category filter is abused for the different types. We could add radio buttons "(o) Commands, ( ) Styles, ( ) Macros" (with the drawback of bad alignment) or use a fully featured tree for functions where these three are the root nodes.

-1 for "All categories except styles and macros": Too long. Will possibly result in need for resizing the boxes, and ruining the dialog.
+1 for "All commands" and a separator between the command categories and Styles/Macros

(We could also add styles and macros into the "all commands/all categories", but I am afraid it might not worth the effort, and has the risk of causing more confusion on user's side)

Another option is "Type [    ] Category [     ]" in next to each other with Type = Commands (default) plus Macros, and Styles. The Category dropdown could be disabled for non-commands.

+1

> Styles/Macros

+1 as the separator was there in the mockup I created[1], and likely a separator is also needed below 'All commands'.
