Description:
It would be super, in Writer, if in the Paragraph and Character styles windows on the sidebar, there was a Most Recently Used Style dropdown, or a way to mark and unmark favorite styles that would then appear in that list of 10. 

I find when writing a long document--currently 100 pages--that I am often scrolling to the top and bottom to find the style with a lot I don't need at the time but don't want to delete. Having such a dropdown would be a nice improvement and time saver.

I am going to attach a screenshot of what the dropdown might look like.

Another option would be to allow a person to easily mark each style they are working with, tagging them so to speak, with a heart or star symbol showing beside them as a favorite, and using the dropdown at the bottom that says "All Styles" to have an option of "Favorite Styles".

I am not sure which implementation would be better.

Favorites should be able to be easily changed from the styles list as tagged or untagged.

This is a mock screenshot of the dropdown implementation.

The other idea might also work.

Sstory, thank you for our ideas. Screenshot shows "All Styles". You can also change to "Applied Styles".
