           Summary: Enhancement: I want an entry field added to be able to
                    change the default amount of indent for the Increase
                    Indent button in LibreOffice Writer, Calc, and any
                    other LibreOffice programs that already contain an
                    Increase Indent button.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.7.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Enhancement AKA New Feature Request: I want an entry field box to type a number
into, that changes the default amount of indent for the Increase Indent button
in LibreOffice Writer, in LibreOffice Calc, and all other LibreOffice programs
that have an Increase Indent button. The Increase Indent button is  already on
the toolbar in both the LibreOffice Writer and Calc programs. 

To be clear, I don't want to define a style. 

I am asking that the LibreOffice development team build in an entry field  box
where I can, in the future, type in a number (i.e. 0.125 inches) that the
LibreOffice Writer or Calc program would always use every time I press the
Increase Indent button on the toolbar in that LibreOffice program. 

Right now, the Increase Indent button on the toolbar always indents by 0.5
inches. It uses 0.5 inches, regardless of how my tabs are set, regardless of
how styles are set, etc. Instead, I want an entry field box where I could
change the number of inches that Increase Indent button indents each time I
pressed the button again. 

For example, if one day I want the Increase Indent button in LibreOffice Writer
to default to 0.125 inches, I would type 0.125 into the new entry field box and
it would indent an additional 0.125 inches every single time I pressed the
Increase Indent button from then on. If, on a different day, I wanted the
Increase Indent button to default to 1 inch every time I pressed that Increase
Indent button, I would type 1 into the new entry field box, and then the
Increase Indent button would always default to indenting an additional 1.0
inches every time I pressed the Increase Indent button from then on, until I
changed it again in the future. If on a third day, I was in LibreOffice Calc,
and I pressed the Increase Indent button in LibreOffice Calc, LibreOffice would
use the same setting of 1 inch that I had set it for in LibreOffice Writer the
previous day.

I don't want to define a paragraph style. I want the Increase Indent button to
use the same amount of whatever number of inches I tell it, every single time I
press the Increase Indent button. I want one place, one new entry field box,
where I could just enter the number and have that Increase Indent button indent
that same amount of inches, every single time that Increase Indent button is
pressed in either LibreOffice Writer or LibreOffice Calc.

Thanks.


Actual Results:
Right now, every time I press the Increase Indent button in LibreOffice Writer,
it indents by an additional 0.5 inches every time I press the Increase Indent
button. I have my tabs set how I want them to 0.125 inches = 1/8 inches. The
Increase Indent button still indents by 0.5 inches which is not what I want.

Expected Results:
Once the new enhancement of a new entry field box was added to LibreOffice
Writer, Calc, and any other programs that already have an Increase Indent
button on their toolbar, and once I typed 1/8 (inch) = 0.125 (inches) into that
new entry field box for the Increase Indent button's default function, then
every time I pressed the Increase Indent button, in either LibreOffice Writer
or Calc, it would increase the indent by an additional 1/8 inch = 0.125 inch
exactly each time I pressed the Increase Indent button. If I wanted it to
increase exactly 0.25 inches, I would press the Increase Indent button twice.
If I wanted it to increase exactly by 3/8 of an inch = 0.375 inches, I would
press the Increase Indent button 3 times. 

If, on a different day, I typed a new number of 2.25 inches into the new entry
field box for Increase Indent, then now it would indent to 2.25 the first time
I pressed the Increase Indent button, and it would indent to 4.5 inches the
second time I pressed the Increase Indent button.

If, one month later, I typed 0.41 into the new entry field box for the Increase
Indent button, it would indent by 0.41 inches the first time I pressed the
Increase Indent button. It would indent by 0.82 inches the second time I
pressed the Increase Indent button. It would increase to 1.23 inches the third
time I pressed the Increase Indent button.
