Would it be possible to add a descriptive text that specifies, at least for items that could accept one value out of a given set, what of each possible value means? This text could also be provided "on user demand" in order to lower impact on performances. As an example (taken from firefox): tab close buttons can take an integer value from 0 to 3, but the only way to know what each value implies is to search the internet (which is not possible if you work offline).

Thanks for the feedback :) The only possible implementation I think is writing a long help document and maybe pull some string to the dialog. May need some advice for this. But great advice definitely will search a way to implement this.

what would probably have to happen here is to write a help page for the options, maybe just a few of them to get started, and then have hid "help-ids" for each option and use sfx/sfxhelp.hxx GetHelpText with those hids. The Customize toolbars/keyboard is an example where the help entries for those functions are shown in the dialog. git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/contrib/dev-tools dev-tools and see helpauthoring
