Hi,
I've made a screenshot (attached) of the Build Commands dialog using
buttons for the menu item labels instead of text entries. This is
because:
1. It makes it clear that menu labels don't normally need to be edited.
2. It displays the mnemonic correctly.
Clicking the button can still allow setting the menu item text via a
dialog prompt, and there would be a tooltip to say this.
Good idea?
It is an "unusual" UI paradigm so I am not sure ...
It might have to be tried to see if it improves or damages the ease of use.
Cheers

The other thing I thought of (belatedly, sorry) is that for the plugin configuration dialog in version build-system 2.0 I was going to make editing the details in a sub-dialog. Does it make sense if the button shows that sort of sub-dialog for the built-in config?
Cheers
Lex
