Move editor popup menu current word items to submenu.
This was a nice idea but after using it for two days it comes very unhandy, IMO. I use especially Goto Definition and Find usage very often as it's just convenient but with the new submenu they got hard to reach.
Can anyone confirm this?
Personally I just use keybindings. I thought it was good to group all
Me not, not for Find usage and Goto Tag Defintion.
the current word items together to make it clearer what they do, and to make the menu tidier. Also a small thing - it makes it much easier to avoid mnemonic conflicts.
Another thing I had in mind when doing this, is that often users don't realise there are keybindings for things that have no menu item. So having sub-menus for the popup menu means we can add many more menu items, and users can easily discover that there are more commands Geany supports.
This would be good for new users to discover some of the (currently) not so obvious features but I don't see a real advantage in this when we at the same time make it more difficult to use the whole editor popup menu. At least I personally don't like submenus in the editor popup menu. They are fine in the main menubar but the editor menu should stay clean and not so bloated.
e.g. There's a feature request for a 'Go to matching bracket' menu. This could be: Go to ->Line ->Matching Bracket ->Tag Definition? ->Tag Declaration?
Same problem as above. But it's probably fine to add some more menu item to the Edit menu (in the menubar).
OTOH, I agree it's good to shorten this menu a little bit or at least to not bloat it more. Maybe we could remove or move the "Insert [Date|Comments|Includes]" menu items into the Format submenu.
Well, insertion is not really formatting IMO.
Right, it was just an idea...
Anyone else with a statement out there?
Hi, I myself don't use this popup menu regularly, so I'd like it to be clean se it could help find the wanted action quickly.
An 'insert' submenu could be created to gain menu entries without cluttering the format submenu (even if I don't find it particularly bloated)
That said, I think the killer feature would be the capacity to edit this submenu (adding/removing predefined or custom actions on different contexts -document, line, word etc...-) :-)
