--- Comment #78 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Thanks Jim!

As implemented thus far, would have no visual indicator added to canvas,
meaning the Navigator would have to remain expanded, or be undocked. 

And of course it forces the use of mouse+keyboard--which is not too much of an
issue since keyboard only navigation get more difficult/less efficient with
larger Writer documents.

Are we going to bump into other os/DE use of the <Ctrl>+lmouse, <Ctrl>+rmouse?
Of course os/DE focus would explicitly be into the LibreOffice module--so maybe
a non-issue. Bounce it off the dev list?

So what thoughts for toggling visibility/enabling on-canvas outline markings as
done with the <Ctrl>+F8 Field shadings, or the <Ctrl>+F10 Non-printing
Characters formatting?

Yes, for sure.
