--- Comment #8 from johndoetoe at protonmail.ch ---
Regina, thanks for the suggestion. My programming background doesn't include
LibreOffice macros. From the online material, it doesn't look too complicated
grammatically and I figured out where the events and such were. But, the API
that's documented in help doesn't seem to have a mechanism for checking to see
what docs are open. I didn't see an obvious reference to extensions or
gimmicks. For someone who's already experienced in these thing it sounds like a
 workable solution. 

Without that background, it would be far easier to craft a bash script that
took ps waux | grep libreoffice and piped it through gawk/awk to update a file.
Run that script with crond every five minutes-ish. Then add a startup script
that would open those files in libre. 

But... I think all that's besides the point. The reason for a feature
enhancement request is that this is a feature offered by a large number of
applications (as well as OS X). Such feature consistancy across user
applications is one of the basic application design principles that was
introduced by the modern GUI.
