            Bug ID: 139884
           Summary: [UI] Need a menu entry + keyboard shortcut + icon in
                    toolbar to set "Default character style"
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.3.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: needsUXEval
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

We nee a way to easily set the "default character style" of a selection in a
paragraph. 

This is not the same as "Clean direct formatting (Ctrl+M)" which removes direct
formatting.

When we apply the "Default character style" in a selection, we reset the
character formatting to the character properties of the applied paragraph
style.

The "Default character style" cannot be modified for this reason, it is a
special char style.

This is an important feature to clean overlapping formatting. For example, a
paragraph style can have a bold font and someone applied a "strong emphasis"
character style on the selection. The results is bold font anyway but the
underlying paragraph is polluted with "strong emphasis" char style that adds
nothing to the document and may raise issues to external tools (such as machine
translator).
