Description: When closing a document which is not saved, we have this classic dialog box: https://imgur.com/YwNzfwk "Your changes will be lost ...": [S]ave [D]on't save [C]ancel Having to remember keyboard shortcuts [S] and [D] is inconsistent (at least on Windows) with other programs. Probably 90% programs use the standard: [Y]es [N]o Cancel It's true for MSOffice, for SublimeText, etc.: https://imgur.com/mVr9585 If every program has different default shortcuts it creates a UX burden (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_user_interface_design) for the user to remember new different shortcuts for every program. --- TL;DR: Proposal: use the Y / N standard for this dialog box, it will improve the UI/UX. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new document 2. Write some text 3. Close Writer 4. See the "Your changes will be lost..." dialog box Actual Results: Standard Y/N shortcuts don't work (obviously) Expected Results: Y or N keyboard shortcut should be able to answer to such a dialog box, as with (nearly) all other software. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: (Personal opinion: It's on these little details (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_user_interface_design) that we see how polished UI/UX is for a program)
PS: Y/N is not only the standard for MSOffice, most GUI programs, but also command lines tools: https://imgur.com/LvhwmVr https://imgur.com/mGX78f6
Some research on this subject: GEDIT on Ubuntu 20.04 is using: Save as/Close without saving/Cancel - is very clear from my point of view what will happen if I press each one of that buttons LO 7.0 on Ubuntu 20.04: Save/Don't Save/Cancel - also is very clear what will happen after pressing that buttons... - Sublime TExt on Ubuntu 20.04: Saving/Close without saving/Cancel - very clear.... - NotepadQQ - on UBuntu 20.04: Saving/Close without saving/Cancel - very clear.... So, I consider NOT a bug... It's very clear everything, like in every other app.
@BogdanB It is very clear, I did not say it was not clear. I just said it was unconsistent with many programs (at least on Windows) which have a Yes/No/Cancel scheme. One example: https://imgur.com/mVr9585
I've compared with Word 2016 German UI: Speichern / Nicht Speichern / Abbrechen So as far as I can see, there is consistency. J, which version of MS Office do you use? => NEEDINFO
@Dieter, they probably changed it in the new version, but this is Office 2007: https://imgur.com/Q4It3eX Translation: Do you want to save the modifications made to Document1? Yes/No/Cancel
Let's add the UX-department.. it's about UX.. so.. However I don't expect a change..
Typical usability question, see for example [1]. "Yes" could also be the answer to "Document has not been saved yet. Do you really want to continue?", not so much far-fetched. So this is a clearly not a bug to me. https://uxplanet.org/primary-secondary-action-buttons-c16df9b36150?gi=a5237c437855
@HeikoTietze Please note that then, software that use "Don't save" typically do it like this: https://imgur.com/rr1UHQF i.e. not: [D]on't save but: Do[n]'t save ==> keyboard shortcut "n" consistent with "No"
N to D was requested in bug 127525 and done recently. Should be in the nightly builds and in RC1 of 7.0
