What we could do is to introduce an expert option (Tools > Options > Advanced) to change the amount an indentation is done. Maybe https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/source/core/doc/docfmt.cxx?r=28bff4bd#1645 (1134) For Draw/Impress: https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sd/source/ui/view/drtxtob1.cxx?r=a7ceb335#139 (1000) Unclear for Calc. But OTOH I the mean we have are sufficient. Do you work with the sidebar and in particular the indentation edit fields at the properties deck, Pam? In the end it's also worth to rethink a proper style. In a perfect world, the indent buttons (and others as well) should respect the selected paragraph/cell style and its properties. With that no UI has to be introduced/changed. Indent default options could fit in the options dialog where tab space properties already exist. We talked about this request in the design meeting and decided to resolve the issue as WORKSFORME. The spinbutton is a light-weight control that allows small changes per click (depending on the chosen unit, in/cm/pt...) and large or exact changes by entering the value. If we make the stepping dependent on an input somewhere else things become too complicated. Thanks for reporting the idea anyway. We definitely appreciate the input from users. |
