Created attachment 110380 [details] sidebar column group button In the insert toolbar, we have group/split buttons for inserting sections (.uno:InsertSection) and inserting frames (.uno:InsertFrameInteract), but we dont have a similar interactive button for formatting the page into columns, but instead have a button which only the column dialog (.uno:FormatColumns). It would be useful to have an interactive button to segment the page into columns, similar to how we have it in the page section of the sidebar's properties tab.
I agree. status NEW.

(In reply to Szymon Kłos from comment #4) > Button will be accessible under .uno:PageColumnType command. Thanks. Anyway that this control is also usable in the menubar?
No, because the behaviour implementation is placed in the popup's code.
