--- Comment #15 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

Sometimes one might run into situations where many different styles, not just
PS but also drawing styles, need to be changed. For instance, shapes with
green, red, and yellow background, each defined per style of course, need to
receive a shadow. A shortcut to tinker every style individually could be to
introduce some new parent, move all styles that need modification underneath
this parent, and change the attribute there. Moving is easy with drag 'n drop.
However, this procedure does not copy the style and splitting a style in two
variants is still tedious. What comes in mind in addition to existing means is
ctrl+drag known from file browsers.

Another missing feature is the ability to change a style which is not currently
selected without the use of the Stylist. May it because user prefer the
Notebookbar UI or have a small screen. This could be done per dropdown at
Organizer > Style > Name (actually a combobox that still allows to change the
name of user styles) or per list/tree view in this dialog showing all styles
permanently.

To summarize: we recommend to introduce a style copying functionality ideally
unobtrusively per ctrl+drag and means to change all styles without the sidebar
aka Stylist.
