--- Comment #8 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
Windows only? And not widely accepted [1][2][3], though I see it on a couple of
comparable to Writer Windows only based editors, e.g. Notepad++ and BablePad

Seems to be a MS Windows only "feature", I certainly don't find it useful.
Maybe Mike or Tomaž knows where it lives in the win32 or WinUI native calls,
but I don't see doing this for the Windows builds as an imperative. And it
probably couldn't be done cross-platform.

These are all for Windows users, no macOS no Linux/DE represented.
