Description Danat 2025-11-06 10:12:01 UTC
Description:
Navigation panel that shows reduced images of pages as well as headers and paragraphs. Both in full screen and not full screen

I don't want to offend anybody, but current LibreOffice navigation feels like it's 90s

I believe something simpler and better looking is needed like in Edge browser PDF reader, and I believe this is a good example to draw inspiration from

The component is marked as "LibreOffice", but it sounds like you want to add a page pane to Writer such as found in Impress and Draw. Is this the main point?

Pretty much so. And there should be headers that are divisible into paragraphs

Everything is there in the video. Watch if you haven't

Sure, but we should focus on one topic per report, otherwise it will be a mess.

I could not find existing requests.

Ah, indeed - confusingly it was for component UI. Let's fix it while we're at it
