select from styles

Thank you for your enhancement request. Let's ask design-team for their opinion. Personally i don't see the need for this enhancement, I'm in doubt, that a lo of user needs it.

Don't mix track changes with paragraph styles (PS). PS format the text with various attributes while TC is shown on top this style with one attribute out of a limited number of options.

What you may want is a character style. But what is the use case that requires complex pattern?

In Chinese culture, we frame deleted objects or dead people with Line arrangement, just as the image "I need" and that's why I made this feature request.
But I'm not sure if others would have other needs.

Michael, is it possible to assign a character style to TC? This would make it much more flexible - although I guess this request is a corner case.

a character style isn't possible currently.

but if any character attribute are missing those could be added to the dialog, like character border.

Thank you very much.

Character border enough for me at the moment.

Could you please provide proof that your request is not just your personal view but a standard?

Request is valid, but a 'borders' (top,right,bottom,left) character attribute should suffice for the practice.

The default settings of Microsoft word are generally used in practice.

Not that I can find. 

But here is a clip not from TC (not implemented there), but of selecting and applying the border char attribute to the selection. Would have to implemented as new mode to do it with TC handling.

Yeah, I mean the clip style of selecting in Microsoft word.

With Selection.Font.Borders(1)
    If .LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone Then
       .LineStyle = Options.DefaultBorderLineStyle
       .LineWidth = Options.DefaultBorderLineWidth
       .Color = Options.DefaultBorderColor
    Else
       .LineStyle = wdLineStyleNone
    End If
End With

So let's add this character attribute (if using character style is not possible). Making insertion bold is possible out of the box (Tools > Options > Writer > Changes: Attributes). The patch would add another entry perhaps with the label "Frame".

yes

I'd like to add a reference from W3C regarding this usage: https://w3c.github.io/clreq/#symbol_of_death

And an actual usage example from Wikipedia: https://web.archive.org/web/20190726093224/https://rid3490.org.tw/upload/news/20120327124454.jpeg
