Description Petros Christopoulos 2024-04-03 14:13:59 UTC
Description:
There is no simple way to get back to the previous position in a Calc document after clicking on a hyperlink 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on a hyperlink in Calc
2. Your cursor is in an completely other possition of the same Calc file (same/other spreadsheet)
3. There is no simple way to get back to where you were before clicking on the hyperlink

Actual Results:
please see other information below

Expected Results:
please see other information below


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
The request primarily concerns a Back button that would send you with one click back to the previous position (=position of the previously clicked hyperlink) after clicking on a hyperlink. There is no other way to achieve this: for example the Navigator would offer you a long list of names, images etc in the entire document, but no way to easily find and directly select the last element you had your cursor on before the clicking the last hyperlink (if there happens to be any at all).
Since Writer already has such a feature, it should be relatively easy to implement in Calc as well. Since Calc also has hyperlinks like Writer, why have Back/Forward buttons only in Writer and not also in Calc?
A couple of additions for the sake of better clarity:
1. This is not about springing among different files. A Calc hyperlink can also be used to open another file (Calc or other), but the button I am referring to would just get you back to the last hyperlink in the same Calc file
2. Actually the only important button is the Back button. Instead ot the forward button, you can just click on the hyperlink again to move forward again.
3. This does no need to get you back to the last modified position of the Calc document, but the requested behaviour is just to get back to the last hyperlink that was clicked. This should be much easier to realize.
