Valid, there is no help article for the 'User Interface...' selection dialog. And yes it would be helpful if the dialog had a linking 'Help' button, but it is not strictly necessary as once authored the <F1> suffices as for all UI component including dialogs. see bug 106470, bug 115131 for emergence of providing the User Interface dialog rather than menu items as the MUFFIN Notebook Bar was implemented. And mid-way through bug 117463 on how the dialog was conceptualized. I dislike simple dialogs being cluttered with help buttons. But I see the benefit, so go for it. This is a really special among LO dialogs - in itself it is very graphic and includes an explanations for each option. So, I don't know what a help page in this special case will bring - even more extensive explanations and more pictures for every option? The fix is in 2 parts, core/ and Help. The Help page already exist: https://help.libreoffice.org/master/en-US/text/shared/01/notebook_bar.html but has no bookmark entries, e.g. Help ID: cui/ui/toolbarmodedialog/<widget> and <widget> comes from cui/ui/toolbarmodedialog.ui open with Glade. for example, for radio button 5 (rbButton5) <bookmark xml-lang="en-US" branch="hid/cui/ui/toolbarmodedialog/rbButton5" id="bm_id251597347799541" localize="false"/> The second part is in core/ to add a Help button to the dialog.
