            Bug ID: 135076
           Summary: Sidebar tab keyboard shortcuts
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.1 rc
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Currently, I don't think there is any way to use a keyboard shortcut to
directly open a sidebar tab ("Properties", "Page", "Styles", "Navigator")
directly. 

The exception to the above is "Styles" - there is an option in the "Functions"
list in the "Customise" -> "Keyboard" dialog to set a shortcut that actually
opens the sidebar's "Styles" tab. Pressing the keyboard shortcut again actually
closes (toggles) the sidebar, which is the behaviour I would expect from this
keyboard shortcut. 

However, this does not seem to be possible with the rest of the sidebar's
panels (Properties, Navigator, etc). Unless I am missing something, there is no
way to open the sidebar directly on the "Properties" tab. This would be
convenient to avoid having to click to switch from e.g. the "Styles" tab or
whichever tab was used last. This shortcut should also toggle the sidebar when
pressed again, like the "Styles" shortcut does. 

If this is currently somehow possible, then it is not readily apparent from the
Keyboard customisation dialog box, which means that the descriptions are not
intuitive (they should be somehow associated with the sidebar). 

In addition, the keyboard shortcut to open the navigator (default F5) actually
opens a separate, undocked  dialog box for the navigator. It should toggle the
relevant view from the sidebar instead (whether docked or undocked, just like
"Sidebar" keyboard shortcut does. As it stands, we have the very confusing case
where you can have a navigator open from the sidebar and a separate undocked
navigator window simultaneously.
