I was in IRC today and asked around if anybody had started the History
menu on the Mac and Mike Pinkerton said he didn't think anybody had.
If that's the case, then I'd like to investigate it (and I'll open an
issue that states such). But since there is no corresponding menu in
either the Windows or Linux ports, there isn't a design doc or
reference for how the menu should behave. If we look at a couple of
Mac browsers, this is how they implement it:
Safari: Full history in long menus organized by date.
Firefox: Last 10 items visited.
Camino: Last 12 items visited in the menu before being broken down
into sub-menus by date.
I think that Firefox's implemntation makes the most sense from a
usability perspective. Those long menus in Safari are next to
worthless if you have a decent-sized browsing history and really just
clutter things up. Camino's implemntation isn't bad, either. That
being said, I think 10 is too few items to include in the menu, and
I'd like to see 15-20.
Where do other people stand on this?
