Description J22Gim 2024-05-07 14:37:23 UTC
Description:
When clicking the zoom level (on the lower right of the window), one can select the zoom level (Optimal, Fit width, 100% etc.).

Steps to Reproduce:
You want to select a zoom level of "Fit width", as quick as possible.

1. Click on the lower right corner of the window, where the zoom level is shown (eg 100%)
2. The zoom level dialog is shown.
3. You select "Fit width"

Actual Results:
4. you need to press OK to apply the change

Expected Results:
it would be great if it would also be possible like this:
4. you apply the change both by pressing OK or by double clicking into "Fit width"


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
The double click is much faster because it saves one step. If I remember correctly, MS Word works like that (at least it did many years ago).


PS. By the way, both in the zoom level indicator (lower right of the window) and on the Zoom level selection dialog, I suggest using the percentage symbol separated from the number with one space. I mean to use '100 %' instead of '100%'. 

In English there is not really a 'rule' (it is OK both with and without the space). But in many other languages, the space is the correct form. Therefore, why not use a space and accommodate more users?

Assign a keyboard shortcut from Tools -> Customize on the Keyboard tab.

Pick a key combo and assign:

.uno:ZoomPageWidth (labeled in Customize dialog as "Page Width").

Instant response.

The other zoom steps are also available to assign to keyboard, menu, r-mouse context menu, or toolbar button. Which ever you need...

Fair enough, thanks!
