I miss the possibility to enlarge or reduce text size in a selected part of the document. In MSWORD you can select text, than enlarge/reduce size by CTRL + ] or CTRL +[. I couldn't find an equal function in Writer.
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html
An EasyHack should have been checked by developers and thus is confirmed regardless of age. Moving back to NEW from NEEDINFO again. Sorry for the hassle.
Created attachment 58011 [details] Add ctrl-[ and ctrl-] to reduce/enlarge font size. I implemented this by adding the following to officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Accelerators.xcu. <node oor:name="BRACKETLEFT_MOD1" oor:op="replace"> <prop oor:name="Command"><value xml:lang="x-no-translate">I10N SHORTCUTS - NO TRANSLATE</value> <value xml:lang="en-US">.uno:Shrink</value> </prop> </node> <node oor:name="BRACKETRIGHT_MOD1" oor:op="replace"> <prop oor:name="Command"><value xml:lang="x-no-translate">I10N SHORTCUTS - NO TRANSLATE</value> <value xml:lang="en-US">.uno:Grow</value> </prop> </node> I added the above XML to the following sections which appear to cover everything edited in Writer. SecondaryKeys -> Modules -> com.sun.star.text.GlobalDocument SecondaryKeys -> Modules -> com.sun.star.text.TextDocument SecondaryKeys -> Modules -> com.sun.star.text.WebDocument SecondaryKeys -> Modules -> com.sun.star.xforms.XMLFormDocument If any of this is incomplete or incorrect I will be happy to put together another patch.
+1 Please, this is very useful indeed.
Pushed ! sorry for the inordinate delay; patches to the mailing list strongly preferred with [PATCH] in the Subject. Thanks !

Will this be translated? Considering that the [] keys arent available (alt-gr is used together with 8 and 9 to type them) on for example a swedish keyboard, using 8 and 9 is what ms word does (at least some versions). Please let me know as i work for the swedish L10N team. Best regards!
This patch works great. Would it be possible to allow control-middle mouse to perform the same task? So if no text is highlighted, control middle mouse zooms the Libre canvas as it does currently. But if you highlight text and do the same thing, then it runs this code and changes the point size of the text?
Removed 'EasyHack' from Summary.

Thanks! Also, I don't know if there are more keyboard layouts that affected.
We can add localizations to officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Accelerators.xcu. Did I understand correnctly that Swedish would like Ctrl+8 and Ctrl+9?

I guess this won't work on many keyboard layouts, [ and ] aren't that common. It definitely doesn't work on Czech keyboard, but it's the same with Word (it uses the same shortcut). I'm afraid this problem will be more and more common, the keyboard is already mostly taken and the only mostly free shortcuts with Ctrl+Alt are unusable on Windows, so I guess there is not much that can be done. That said, changing this to Ctrl+8 and 9 will work for Czech too.
