            Bug ID: 124552
           Summary: A Sentence selection UNO action not provided for
                    assignment to keyboard use
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: vstuart.foote at utsa.edu

For use in the GUI, we do not provide a "Select Sentence" action although we
provide a "Select Word" and "Select Paragraph".

Other UNO actions for selections are based on current line position, or
paragraph position--select to end of line, to start of line. Select to end of
paragraph, to start of paragraph. 

Currently the only means to select to "Sentence" runs is with a mouse button
action--"triple click". Or to drag text cursor from start to end of sentence
(error prone).

The missing, and lexicaly useful ICU lib based "Sentence" selection would
complement the mouse controls supporting a keyboard shortcut/accelerator
customization assignment.

Current mouse button actions are: double-click--select word;
triple-click--select sentence; quadruple-click--select paragraph.  Strange in
that Word and Paragraph selection exist and can be assigned to keyboard
customizations, not so for making a Sentence selection.
