Summary0017758: LibreOffice's Spotlight-like feature to highlight the uses of paragraph styles in the entire document
DescriptionIt would be nice to see at a glance where a specific Paragraph Style—and possibly Character Style as well—is used.

LibreOffice does this well with its Spotlight feature (see the attached screenshot).

When activated, every paragraph in the document is highlighted with colour coded numbers, and the corresponding numbers in the right panel (Styles panel) speak for themselves.
Additional InformationThis may also help reduce the clutter in the Search / Replace dialog if the proposed feature also covers Character Style.

LibreOffice also has this feature for character styles.

Both can be useful in Scribus when checking that a document has been correctly formatted.
