Description andreas_k 2020-01-23 22:56:39 UTC
The Position and Size Sidebar panel show the Arrange options and there would be space on the second column next to Arrange: for Align: commands.

Yes we can talk why the Arrange commands are in the Position and Size Sidebar but as they are, than add Align would be consequent.

what do you mean you can't reproduce it?

the align commands are not available in the sidebar but as the arrange commands are there I don't see any reason why not add the alignment commands at least when you select more than one shape/objects, ...

I expected to see the label 'Align' in the sidebar that why I said I couldn't reproduce it. Changing to enhancement then
Comment 7 Heiko Tietze 2020-02-19 12:58:00 UTC
Do you want to add all seven or just the four horizontal options?

.uno.ObjectAlign would replicate what's on the toolbar.
