            Bug ID: 139749
           Summary: UI - Improve workflow regarding the thesaurus
                    function: ability to type immediately after dialog
                    window opens.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: renaudbussieres at gmail.com

Description:
It would be great to be able to type immediately after opening the Thesaurus
dialog window (either with keyboard shortcut, the menu or the icon). For now, I
have to click in the textbox, and then type. That's a small, but still an
inconvenience. Being able to type immediately would improve the workflow speed.
As an example, the Search, and Search and Replace dialog windows have the main
textbox in focus right at the beginning, which is convenient. Note than when a
word is selected, it works fast and well to simply press Ctrl+F7, but sometimes
I'm looking for a synonym without having any word selected (typing a word,
backward selecting it (or selecting it using the mouse) and then pressing
Ctrl+f7 seems a bit odd to me).

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Press Ctrl+F7 to open the thesaurus.
2.Start to type something.
3.

Actual Results:
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:
I would like to be able to to type right away and then press enter to launch
the search.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
