Buttons to add and corresponding buttons in LO Writer

Add Cycle Case UPPERCASE/Lowercase button to Home tab in Tabbed bar in Writer.
I know that it is already present in the Home drop-down menu. 
Furthermore, both of them also present a drop-down menu to add several character highlight options therefore, I would suggest to also add Shadow and Outline buttons as well.

However, both Microsoft Office as well as WPS Writer present these buttons (as highlighted in the attached image) in their Home tabs on their Ribbon UIs. There's also plenty of horizontal space available in the Home tab of Writer to include these buttons.

Don't think this function is used often enough to need a prominent place. Up to the NB designer, though.

Well, the "Add Shadow" button is already present in Impress in the same area...
I agree it's up to the designer. I don't think this is essential, it's just to have parity with Word and WPS Writer, and to have less actions hidden in the right edge drop-down menu.

I understood that tabbedbar should "follow" the ribbons from MSO, BUT that doesn't mean that it's a 100% copy in addition MSO didn't have a menubar or a drop dowm menu somewhere. This mean that MSO has to have "everything" available as icon somewhere in the Ribbon UI.

I think it's enough to have the not so necessary stuff in the drop down menues of each tab. So I think it's ok to not add this icons. When sometimes in the future NB will be available to configure this would be fine.
