--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Agree, it has never made sense to me that the Formatting toolbar has just the
one Style control--"Set Paragraph Style", the rest are direct formatting. And,
as a result most paragraphs are rendered to canvas with "Default" character
style.

Manipulating the Character Styles in conjunction with the assigned Paragraph
style is otherwise awkward requiring use of the F11 Styles and Formatting
dialog now resident in the Sidebar. It results in too much direct formatting
being applied

But rather than providing generic unassigned buttons to hold assignment of .uno
actions to apply a Character Style--IMHO it would make more sense to provide
for toolbar customization to show a drop list/split button that could display
the assigned character style adjacent to the assigned paragraph style.

Then rather than buttons, use the drop list widget to change Character style
assignment of a selection (character, word or even full paragraph).

Expect we would need to provide the same functions as the existing Set
Paragraph Style widget--i.e. display, assign and edit. 

The Styles and Formatting (F11) deck of the Sidebar would remain primary tool
to manage all styles, but ability to customize the toolbar to display character
style in addition to paragraph style would be of help to encourage the use of
styles.
