Please calm down everybody and let us discuss in a constructive way.

Possibly but IMO not, because
a) the style list would be longer than now and now it's already a long list for
each style type (finding the right style would be less easy in a list with
paragraph, character and list styles together -- and how to differ them from
each other style type?) and
b) the toolbar command suggestion is only usable for few styles because the
horizontal space is limited (only styles that are used very often for a
specific user; e.g. in an instruction that describes an HMI screen of a machine
control software you want to highlight buttons of the HMI with a special
character style to show the reader easily what's an HMI element in the text).

Thanks for the info. As far as I can see as non-developer, fixing of this bug
would enable (or would deliver the base to make it possible for) the
Notebookbar to do what you suggest. As I read in the wiki, the Notebookbar uses
the same configuration system as toolbars today. So I think it wouldn't be a
waste of effort to make it possible to assign a style to a command in the
"Customize..." dialog tabs. Will the Notebookbar also be customizable with the
"Customize..." dialog?
