Description Eyal Rozenberg 2025-02-28 16:57:28 UTC 
Repeating an action is something we do relatively frequently; and Repeat appears on the Edit menu of LO Writer. Why, then, should it be missing from the Edit menu of LO Impress? I suggest we add it.

Repeat has a very limited functionality and actually I haven't figured a situation where the command became enabled. So before adding it to the menu - which you can do yourself - it needs implementation. And I assume repeat is limited to the edit engine.

It is very often enabled when you apply DF or choose a character style, for example. Which is quite relevant in Impress...

I didn't file this bug about getting this to happen for myself, I'm talking about the default.

If Repeat is appropriate for the Edit menu of Writer, it's appropriate for that of Impress, and vice-versa. Wouldn't you say?
