Keyboard Shortcuts for OpenOffice / +StarOffice Draw and Impress

+

Author: Armin Weiss , Frank Loehmann

+

Date: 02/06/2002

+

This is not a complete list of all +shortcuts used in Draw/Impress. This proposal lists only shortcuts, +which have to be changed or added to fulfill accessibility criteria.

+

Selecting a Drawing Object via +Keyboard

+

If the cursor position is within text +in your document, do the following:

+

1. Press F10 to move the focus +to the menu bar.

+

2. Press Ctrl+Tab until +the Drawing toolbar is the focus. +

+

3. Press the Right Arrow +key to choose Select Objects.

+

4. Press Ctrl+Enter to +select the first drawing object.

+

4 b. Or Press Enter to Return +Focus to Document

+

5. Press the Tab key to cycle +forward (or Shift+Tab to cycle backward) through the +objects until handles appear on the object you want selected.

+

Create Objects

+

To allow users to create drawing +objects on their own, Draw and Impress create a default object when a +drawing tool is selected and Ctrl + Return is pressed. After +creation this object has the focus in the document.

+

This default object has the +dimension of 5 * 5 cm / 2 * 2 inches.

+

Select Objects

+

Tab: Selects +first object on page if focus is already in document

+

Move Objects

+

Cursor Keys: Move in defined +steps

+

A Proposal for Keyboard Navigation in Charts

+ +

Last modified: 02/18/2002

+ +

Contents

+ +1. Introduction

+2. Other Applications
+3. Proposal
+ +

1. Introduction

 + +

For the chart to become accessible, it is necessary to do everything that you can do using the +mouse. Especially selecting objects is a task that is currently not available. Apart from +selection, the most important thing is access to menus and context-menus, which is already +accessible by keypresses.

+ +

2. Other Applications

 + +

What MS Graph supports

+ +

In MS Graph, you can cycle through all groups using the cursor up and down keys. With cursor +left and right you can navigate through the objects in the current group. At least this is what is +described in the Help. The cursor left/right navigation not only travels throught the members of a +group but also reaches all top-level objects, that can also be selected with cursor up/down. In my +opinion the navigation is not very intuitive; however, you can access all objects.

+ +

What Draw/Impress supports or will support

+ +

In Draw/Impress, you can travel through all top-level objects, or objects belonging to group +currently entered, by pressing Tab and Shift-Tab. This is the same behaviour as in MS +PowerPoint.

+ +

With the cursor keys you can move objects by 1 millimeter into the respective direction.

+ +

You can enter a group by pressing F3 and leave it by pressing Ctrl-F3.

+ +

To edit text objects you can press F2 (which is a common key for text editing).

+ + +

3. Proposal

 + +

To consistent with other OOo applications, I think it makes most sense to adapt the navigation +from the Draw application. The usage of tabulator keys also has the advantage that the cursor keys +are available for moving objects which seems to be impossible in MS Graph so far.

+ +

To select a data point inside a series that is currently selected, you could enter a group by +pressing F3. It may be not very intuitive, but it is consistent. Therefore I suggest to adapt this +behaviour as well.

+ +

Internally the diagram (plot-area) is a group, which has to be entered to access the axes and the +series. I suggest not to offer this structure directly to the outside, but instead treat the +diagram, the axes, and the series as being on the same level. So you need the entering/leaving of +groups only for series and the legend.

+ +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
KeyFunctionValid for
TabSelect next object in current group. After the last object, the first one is + selectedAll objects
Shift-TabSelect previous object in current group. After the first object, the + last object is selected.All objects
Home / EndSelect first / last object in current group.All objects
EscUnselect all objectsAll objects
Cursor KeysMove object in the respective directionAll objects that are not move + protected, i.e., all top-level objects
Cursor KeysMove a pie segment in the direction of the cursor direction projected + on the bisector of the segmentPie segments in a pie chart
F3Enter a group.Series, Legend
Ctrl-F3Leave a group.Series, Legend
F2Edit textTitles
F4Standard position/size dialogPosition for all top-level objects, size + only for diagram
+ / -Resize diagram proportionally (enlarge/shrink)Diagram
+ / -Drag pie segment out/inPie segments in a pie chart

+ +

The cursor keys and + / - move / resize objects by 1mm. If together with those keys the Alt-Key +is pressed, the objects are moved one pixel corresponding to the current view. Dragging of pies, +drag five percent in standard mode, together with Alt one percent of the radius.

Proposal for Automatic Font Color

+

Task ID #97644, 97649, +97650, 97651, 97652

+

Author: Frank Loehmann

+

Date: 03/07/2002

+

Last change: 03/20/2002

+

Proposal how the attribute automatic +font color should work in StarOffice. +

+

General

+

The automatic font color attribute is +now default for all new created SO/OO documents. The new default does +not change already created documents or documents created from a +document template, were the automatic color attribute was not set to +automatic. The automatic color default attribute +will be stored within the document file.

+

The text on the screen will always be +painted in the system's text color (i.e. in a high contrast mode), +with some exceptions listed directly in the application sections +below.

+

When printed out the text will be +printed as black, except if the font color was inverted (due to the +exceptions listed below). Then the text will be printed white on dark +background.

+

Writer +

+

Override the automatic text color +into white if: The direct background of a text, i.e. character, +paragraph and/or page background color) is +< 154 (addition of the three RGB values)

+

Calc

+

Override the automatic text color +into white if: Cell background is < +154 (addition of the three RGB values) or the table background +is < 154 (addition of the three +RGB values) and the cell has no or a background color. is +< 154 (addition of the three RGB values)

+

Draw

+

Override the automatic text color +into white if: Only if the page background is black. (Should +we define a luminary value here so that the font color changes into +white even if the background is dark blue, green, etc.?)

+

Impress

+

Override the automatic text color +into white if: Only if the page background is black. (Should +we define a luminary value here so that the font color changes into +white even if the background is dark blue, green, etc.?)

+

Chart

+

Override the automatic text color +into white if: The area (background of chart) is darker than 80% +black. We should define a luminary value here so that the font color +changes into white even if the background is dark blue, green, etc.

Convert Floating Windows to System Windows

+

Date: 02/28/2002

+

Author: Frank Loehmann

+

Status: Draft

+

Task ID: 96979

+

Today's Situation

+

StarOffice does not use system controls, dialogs, +etc. Due to this floating windows like the Stylist, Navigator and +floating toolboxes (toolbars) can not be moved outside the +application window of SO/OO today. (please see screen shot below) +This was also true for dialogs and application menus in the past (So +5.2).

+

Proposed solution

+

StarOffice / OO will use system windows also for +floating windows.

+

This solution will also solve some accessibility +requirements, because moving and resizing floating windows and +toolbars via keyboard is then covered by the systems own +mechanism.(Alt+Space shows up the windows menu)

+
    +

  • Every application / document has it's own + floating windows (content and position)

    +

  • Only floating windows of the current SO/OO + document (which owns focus or was the last SO/OO document, loosing + focus to another application or window) are visible

    +

  • Every new created document inherits the + floating windows and positions (also docked status) given in the + current document.

    +

  • The floats positions of the last closed doc + will be saved

    +
+

Optional

+
    +

  • Option to save floating window and their + positions with the document?

Proposed Libraries

+


+

+
+

The + Situation

+
+

Currently, the code for common user interface (I'll abbreviate + this with CUI from time to time) elements are wide-spread over at + least 4 different projects: SVTOOLS, SFX2, SVX, OFFMGR.
This + includes:

+
    +

  • common base classes like the SfxTabDialog/SfxTabPage

    +

  • frequently used components such as Character + Formatting

    +

  • self-contained components like the internal file-open + dialog

    +

  • common toolbox controllers like the one for the + Undo/Redo-dropdown

    +

  • specialized SfxPoolItems

    +
+

Note 1: This does not include fundamental + controls like buttons, fixed texts, and such - they're part of the + VCL layer, and we're not interested in them here. Also, this does + not include low-level UI helpers as the SvTreeListBox and + BrowseBox - at least not in the first run.

+

The reasons for this are various, one bold-printed line in the + list of these reasons titled "History" ....
Several + drawbacks of the current situation become obvious (most of them + having a "performance issue" label on their back).

+
    +

  • Maintaining this primeval forest becomes more and more + difficult as it grows.

    +

  • The startup behaviour of the office suffers: Just because + later on, there may be a need for, say the character formatting + tab page, the library containing this page is loaded at the + moment the writer is started

    +

  • An application does not have a chance to deny loading of + unused code: Opening the Tools/Options dialog means loading a + lot of code for some pages present there - though they're not + needed

    +
+

Note 2: To prevent this question from arising: We're + not talking about actually creating tab pages which are not + needed. There already are good mechanisms which ensure that there + is no page for the Load/Save options created if you do not open + the Options dialog on exactly this page. But the code for + this page is loaded into memory - as well as the code for, say, + position and size of a shape of the drawing layer, and on some + platforms also the code for the UNO representation of some + drawing layer components, just because they're all in one lib -- + Did I already mention that it's weird?

+

Note 3: Of course, there are a lot of options pages + which are application specific and not implemented in the CUI, + but in the application itself. But splitting the applications + into a core and a UI part is a completely different story.

+


+

+
+

The Goals

+
+

We want to have:

+
    +

  • a clear structure in the high-level components which are + necessary for a common office UI

    +

  • libraries specific to the CUI

    +

  • a more intelligent grouping of code, thus decreasing the + overhead of loading unnecessary code.

    +

  • the possibility to load shared code on demand, + thus improving startup performance

    +
+


+

+
+

The Way

+
+

Well, the following is not really a comprehensive description + of "The Way". It is an introduction to what we think + could be steps on the way to reach the goals. It is neither + complete nor finished, it's just a rough outline at the moment.

+


+

+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+


+

+ 		+

Keep it + (at the moment ?)

+
+


+

+ 		+

There is some stuff which won't be moved in a first run. This + includes:

+
    +

  • The OfficeApplication class. This global + application class should stay in OFFMGR - it handles common + application-wide tasks, and it is needed as soon as a doc is + opened, anyway.

    +

  • Image Lists. Currently, such lists for CUI purpose + are found in OFFMGR (and SFX2?). Load-on-demand seems to be + unnecessary for them (they would be loaded as soon as the first + document is opened, which is +

    +

  • small MessageBoxes: moving them seems to be + oversized

    +

  • SFX-Toolboxes (such as the common Office-Toolbar): + as above

    +

  • Print Dialog / Document Info Dialog: They're + integrated with the current SFX framework (callbacks into + SfxModules and such), and thus should not be moved at the moment + - this can change in the future

    +
+


+

+
+


+

+ 		+

Toolbox + Controllers

+
+


+

+ 		+

If a application wants to bind a given ToolboxController to a + slot id, it calls some kind of (static) RegisterXYZ method. There + are different shades of this (sometimes the slot id is passed, + sometimes it's hard coded, some controllers need a module pointer + passed, etc.), but the main idea is always the same.

+

So, for outsourcing the controllers to CUI, we need to broaden + the interfaces so they cover all possibilities, which mainly + means that there needs to be a static RegisterXYZ function for + every controller.

+


+

+
+


+

+ 		+

Tab + Pages

+
+


+

+ 		+

Looking at the various commonly used tab pages we currently + have, we can discern at least 3 groups:

+
    +

  1. pages used for the drawing layer

    +

  2. pages for common options

    +

  3. other dialogs

    +
+

It seems reasonable to reflect these groups in different + libraries. Users who do not use drawing functionality during a + session won't load a). Users who have already adjusted their + office to their very personal preferences will never load b) in + all subsequent sessions.

+

Because of the factory concept, we can change this grouping + later (if we see the demand) without changes in the applications.

+


+

+
+


+

+ 		+

Floating + Tools

+
+


+

+ 		+

There are some common tools which appear in a floating window, + and are (potentially) needed as soon as a document is opened. + This includes the Stylist, the Navigator, and the Find & + Replace dialog. Thus, it would make sense to have these tools in + a common library.

+


+

+
+


+

+ 		+

Factories

+
+


+

+ 		+

A main requirement is to load code, only on demand. This means + we need factories to create all the components we want to + provide.

Note 4: It surely is oversized to use UNO + mechanisms for this (though UNO already features an abstract + factory concept), as this would mean that our components + would need to be wrapped in UNO.

Looking at what kind of + interfaces, applications typically use, we have the following:

+
    +

  • factories: For tab pages, a Create method is + passed when referring to a page class, which means we need a + factory which creates such factory functions.

    +

  • direct instantiation: For dialogs, the + applications need immediate access to an instance of a class, + thus we need to provide simply factories

    +

  • static init functions: For toolboxes, as mentioned + above, an application needs to know (and call) a static + RegisterXYZ function only.

    +
+

In ideal, applications would link only against a library + containing all the factory methods, and create all needed + components indirectly using these factories. We then can even + hide the more detailed library structure: Whether a given tab + page (created by a factory) is located in library X or library Y + is of no interest to the application. This placement in libs can + even be changed without any notice - the application still only + calls the factory, and the factory decides which other lib to + load to create the component.

+

Of course, we still need to expose the interfaces of the + classes created by the factories, which in C++ means the class + declaration has to be exported, and the methods have to be kept + virtual (as calling non-virtual method requires linking against + the implementation lib.)

+


+

+
+


+

+ 		+

Proposed + Libraries

+
+


+

+ 		+

Suggestion for libraries to introduce in CUI (in the + following, dialogs is an alias for "dialogs, tab + pages, and such" :)

+
    +

  1. drawing layer dialogs

    +

  2. option dialogs

    +

  3. other dialogs

    +

  4. floating tools (Stylist, Navigator, Find dialog)

    +

  5. FileDialogHelper, File-Open dialog, Document'n'Templates + dialog, Help-UI

    +

  6. Toolbox controllers, base classes, factories

    +
+

e) and f) would be libraries to link against (because they + contain components which a normal application needs, very often + this does not matter).
d) would be a lib containing tools + which are needed often, but not always, and would be loaded on + demand.
a) and c) are loaded on demand only

+

Perhaps e) can be split up even more, moving the pure UNO + components (which counts for the file dialog, nearly for + the Help-UI, and potentially for the DocTempl dialog) into + separate libs.

+

+

Problem

+

1. The selection of text in the read +only mode of StarOffice / OpenOffice is currently only possible with +the mouse. This is a problem regarding accessibility requirements, +which prescribe that all functionality be accessible via the +keyboard. +

+

2. Furthermore, the Edit/Read-Only +modes could only be switched in the context menu of a read-only +document and using the “Edit File” icon on the function +bar, but not via a regular menu.

+

Note: This feature is only for +Writer. This has no impact on Draw, Impress and Calc because they are +able to select cells and objects even in read-only mode.

+

Proposed Solution

+

1. Implement a new +selection mode for the read only mode. This mode could be activated +in the context menu of a read-only document, the main menu (in the +Edit menu) and with a keyboard shortcut. If this mode is active, the +user can use a non blinking cursor (this cursor type indicates +that no text could be entered) placed in the left upper corner of the +currently visible document part.

+

Main Menu of StarOffice +/ OpenOffice

+
    +

  • Entry in the Edit + menu which could be activated or deactivated (with a check mark in + front of the menu command like the Tips entry from the Help menu). + This entry is only visible if read-only mode of doc is active (see + point 2 above and solution 2 below). The default setting for the + menu entry is 'unmarked'.

    +

    + Position: Above the “Select All” entry

    +

    German: “Text + auswählen”

    +

    English: “Select + Text”

    +

    +
+

Contextual Menu

+
    +

  • + Entry in the contextual menu of StarOffice / OpenOffice which could + be activated and deactivated. Default is deactivated

    +
+
    +

    + Position in StarOffice / OpenOffice: Directly after the currently + named “Edit” entry

    +

    + German: “Text auswählen“

    +
+
    +

    English: + „Select Text“

    +

  • + Entry in the contextual menu of the SO help system which could be + activated and deactivated. Default is deactivated

    +
+
    +

    + Position in help system: After “Add to bookmark” divided + by a separator

    +

    + German: “Text auswählen“

    +
+
    +

    English: + „Select Text“

    +
+



+

+

Shortcut (StarOffice / OpenOffice +and Help Viewer)

+

+Create keyboard shortcut to activate the new selection mode in the +read only mode.

+
    +

  • Ctrl + Shift + I

    +
+

2. Change currently +implemented “Edit” mode to a “Read-Only Mode”. +(This change should make it clearer to the user why he can't change +the document, because “Read-Only Mode” is activated +(Button in the object bar is pressed). Currently this button is +pressed when the edit mode is active, but the edit mode is the normal +expected state of a doc and it is obvious for the user (blinking +cursor).

+

Add a menu entry to the +View Menu to correspond to the icon on the function bar and +the entry on the context menu of the read-only document. Replace the +“Edit File” icon on the function bar with a new icon +(Christian Jansen (CJ) will create one) named “Read-Only Mode”

+
    +

  • + Entry on the View menu to activate or deactivate (with a + check mark in front of the menu command like the Tips entry from the + Help menu) the edit mode of a read-only document. The default + setting for the menu entry is 'unmarked'.

    +

    + Position: Above the “Full Screen” entry

    +

    + German: “Lesemodus”

    +

    + English: “Read-Only Mode”

    +

  • + New “Read-Only Mode” icon (will come from CJ) on the + function bar. The default setting for the icon is 'not pressed'.

    +

    + Position: Same position as the “Edit File” icon up till + now.

    +

    Help + tip German: “Lesemodus”

    +

    + Help tip English: “Read-Only Mode”

    +
+

Contextual Menu

+

+Change the current “Edit” entry of a read only document +to:

+
    +

    + German: “Lesemodus”

    +

    English: + “Read-Only Mode”

    +
+

The status +(checked/unchecked) corresponds with the button in the object bar. +

Introduction

+

Due to the new (Figure 1) definition of the standard tabbed dialogue there + is a need to define some visual guidelines for successfully complete layout.

+

The units which are used in this guideline are + Map AppFont (ma) and Pixel (px). Map AppFont units are device and resolution + independent. One Map AppFont unit is equal to one-eighth of the average character + (System font) height and a quart in width.

+

In the first draft, the dimension are only in pixels the will be replaced + in the next version. The screen samples

+

were made on a system with a resolution of 1280 x 1024 at 96 dpi.

Layout

+

One of the most critical area in visual design is to create a visually consistence + in spacing, size, alignment etc. From the structural side (for western countries) + the information should be provided as follows:
+
+ The most important information should be located in the upper left area.

+

After this content follows from left to right and top to the bottom.

+

Size

+

The following table lists the typical dimensions of common control which + are used in StarOffice.

Spacing and Positioning

+

Alignment is very important for a good dialogue design. Try to create a consistent + and clear layout. Use the dialogue spaces shown in figure 2 and 3.

+

Translation

+

Translations from English to other languages + can affect the size of the dialogue for example:

+
+
    +
  • +
    +

    Increase the length of the text in the user + interface.

    +
    +
    • +
  • It can affect the layout of the controls.
    • +
+

+

Figure 4 A dialogue + with enough space for translation.

+
+

To handle the text expansion it makes sense to allow approximately 30 percent + or more space than for the English version (figure 5)

+

+
+

Figure + 5 The first two examples allow not enough space for translation.

+

 

+
+

If + text is or must placed in front of controls like list boxes or text boxes + leave enough space between the text and control item. In my opinion it looks + better if the the text beneath the control is placed over the related control, + because it cold not effect to large spaces in between (figure6).

+
+

If a longer explanation above controls is needed, + the text should be split into an information part and a header for the related + control.

+
+

+
+
+

+

Figure 6 For longer explanations split + into two parts.

+

Tip:
+ To control the current text expansion space it is possible to enable in a NON + Product Version, by pressing CTRL – SHIFT – D. The VCL Debug dialogue + will appear and several settings can be set. To enable the highlighting of the + text expansion space check the “Dialogue” entry in the “Test + options” Group box. After enabling this feature Dialogues will be shown + like in the screen shot below.
