            Bug ID: 124088
           Summary: Propose AutoText name and shortcut based on selected
                    text
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

The AutoText dialog doesn't have great usability (see bug 52607).
A small improvement would be if the dialog pre-filled tha name and shortcut
based on the selected text.

Name could be the first X words from the first line, no longer than 20-25
characters, and shortcut could be what it'd automatically add if the user
entered that name themselves.

Also, upon the first click into Name or shortcut fields, pre-select field
content, then entering a custom name is zero extra steps.

I'm not sure how useful it'd be in the end, but I think it's a nice touch
having something there by default, without adding any overhead for the user.
