Find and Replace Dialog update V1

The existing Dialog use non align checkboxes and the content is arranged somewhere but as written not well arranged.

Attached an first proposal

3 column layout

1st column
- only checkboxes

2nd column
- all 3 items are related to each other

3rd column
- special app specific column

I'm not convinced with the Similarities button below the option, that's usually next to it (perhaps we drop the caption in favor of a hamburger icon).

I like the re-arrangement of the scattered options.

I suggest to move the 'regular expression' option to the row above. I think many LO expert users use this option (more than the style options) and it would be helpful to have it in a more exposed/promiment position.
Comment 3 Heiko Tietze 2020-02-03 11:00:07 UTC
Okay, just let's do it.

Should I add some kind of label for the buttons Attributes, Format and No Format? Space is available and maybe it's than more clear.

> Should I add some kind of label for the buttons...

The space above the buttons is taken by the frame's label. And left-hand it makes no sense. So IMHO no.
