LibreOffice has a dedicated menu heading for Table which has entries and submenu entries which are all disabled unless you are inside of a table, except for Table > Insert > Table. So it would be better than this was moved to the main menu as Table > Insert Table. We also have the leftover Insert > Table item which wasnt removed when the Table menu was added, so its worth removing it now.
No real objection Jay. But is it worth the trouble? People will use Ctrl_F12 / tool bar .. And the Table menu will look less nice ?
Well according to the OOo stats, 84% use the toolbar, 16% use the menu bar, and less than 1% use the keyboard shortcut. So for those menu users, it would be good to streamline them to using the table menu for all table related stuff, and reduce the clutter in the insert menu.
I agree with Jay. status NEW
Yep, good explananation.
