Thank you for taking the time to read the text carefully. If we start any
redesign we need to consider all requirements and use cases.

> Attached a file with ideas, comments, questions.

1 (Nasty drop-down menu): I agree that this drop down is not really nice. But
we need to break down the large list of functions into small pieces to avoid
too much browsing. A tree view can be used on the left view with all functions
but that's not possible when items are supposed to get sorted up/down. (read
'not possible' as 'very unusual').

2 (Keep events with customization, perhaps on a third tab): The basic workflow
follows the dual-list principle where you select an item on the left list with
all options and add it to the right list of selections. I have no idea how
events on a third tab would fit into this workflow.

3 (How to open the details dialog): Good point. Accessibility should be taken
into account.

4 (Search for uno:commands): I would allow to search for function names as a
hidden expert feature. But this information does not need to be shown in first
place. Maybe on the details dialog.

5 (How to store data): We postponed the discussion about implementation of
storage since it's not part of the UI. I'd say that all customization done in
this dialog has to be saved in one reloadable object (separate files, xml
sections, references somewhere).
BTW: If events would be part of this dialog users expect it to be saved with
the menu/toolbar and shortcut customization.

6 (How to enter a new shortcut): The idea is to focus the input field and
accept any key press as new shortcut. For example you go to the field that
shows ctrl+D and press shift+ctrl+D. Thereupon this shortcut is shown and
accepted as new when the dialog is closed.

7 (Button on details dialog): This button opens the dialog for selection of a
new image. The caption should be shown to make it clear.
