In Calc, there is currency dropdown. When opened, we can type and see that, but not clear what it does, as that does not seem applied or used. At least in GTK3. If we type currency and press Enter, it should be selected and applied to the cell. That is for single selected currency, while multiple entries with the same name like EUR should be bug 154538.
Reproduced: Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 53c5d570cab036b23f4969b858a648c8f0c24f93 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded This is actually a gtk3-specific bug: - When in the sidebar, typing opens the search/filter overlay but it has no effect. (Unlike e.g. the Styles deck, where such overlay works to jump to an item.) - with gen, kf5 and win VCL plugins, it is possible to jump to an item by typing (both in sidebar and toolbar) In 5.2, when the widget was added, and up to 6.4, typing would jump to the correct item but would apply it directly and close the widget, for both gtk2/3 and gen. In 7.0, it works as expected for gen but doesn't for gtk3.

gtk's search is defeated by the use of ApplyLreOrRleEmbedding which sticks (hidden to the human) extra RTL/LTR directional characters at the start of the strings
