Comments: Regina, Roman, Miguel, Stuart

Tickets/Topics

  * Context menu of cells in AutoFilter-filtered column should
    offer clearing the filter
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164322
    + Autofilter works on the entire column (Regina)
    + shortcut to open AF widget, bug 123560 (Roman)
    + clear AF from current column is available in Excel (Heiko)
    + still believe the AF button on top is sufficient (Sahil)
    + how about large content where the focus is somewhere down
      below the top row given the user does cannot freeze it (Heiko)
    + niche use case, but adding a UNO command wont hurt anyway (Sahil)
    => do it

  * Can't easily clear the current multi-column filters (without
    removing autofilter altogether)
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164321
    + Filter by condition > Standard filter > Clear (Miguel)
    + Data > More Filters > Reset Filter is not intuitive (Eyal)
    + feature is easy to find (Heiko)
    + separating the filter types means to add complexity to the
      function itself since AF AND/OR/NOR/XOR... SF could happen (Heiko)
    => existing methods are sufficient, NAB/WF

  * Paste unformatted unless clipboard contains multiple cells or
    source application is part of libreoffice
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164504
    + plenty of UNO commands to customize, WF (Stuart)
    + option to either paste or paste special similar to the
      envisioned quick search at toolbar or sidebar (Heiko)
    + sounds like over-engineering; prefer user customization,
      which works nicely (Sahil)
    => NAB/WF

  * Replace button wall with a context menu in new Macro manager
    + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164142
    + inline icon for most frequently used functions (Eyal, Sahil)
    + context menu for a11y as well (Heiko)
    => share mockup
