            Bug ID: 131761
           Summary: Character Style dropdown widget
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
I find the Paragraph Style widget in the toolbar and sidebar extremely useful.
As a heavy style user, I think it would be similarly useful to have a widget
for character styles as well.

It's irritating to have to switch to the character style page of the styles
toolbar in order to see and change character styles, far more so than other
types of styles since they are used for small, frequent strings of text.

A widget for list styles (not to mention frames and pages) is less critical and
possibly overkill, so I am not considering that here.

In the sidebar, I imagine a drop-down followed by the same two buttons as the
current paragraph style widget. Labels would be needed. I propose inline
labels, though headings above would still be fairly compact if horizontal space
is too precious. Quick text mock-up:

------------------------------------------
- Style
Paragraph: [Text Body        ] [Btn] [Btn]
Character: [Default          ] [Btn] [Btn]
------------------------------------------

The same widgets should be available in the toolbar, but probably not included
in the Formatting or Standard (Single) toolbars by default like the paragraph
widgets are. It might be worth including by default in the Formatting (Styles)
toolbar as a replacement for the limited selection of style buttons.
