THAT is a neat UI idea! Using the mouse over "hover" event when pointing to one
of the create new document buttons on the left bar to momentarily filter the
display of thumbnails to just documents of that flavor. UI would hold that
selection for several seconds or until a selection is made (single or double
click as with OS / DTE norm). Either a timed revert, or perhaps an <Esc> to
release back to display of the full Recent Document list.

As to that, I more often find I am in a Writer document, and need something
from out of a Calc spreadsheet--defaults now allow me to choose it from the
File -> Recent Documents list.
