kneekoo left a comment (geany/geany#4397) What I have in mind is a simple UI, similar to what "Toggle all additional widgets" does, but with a status bar - I believe that's useful. It's actually interesting that the status bar has no toggle option in the View menu (Geany 1.38).
What's interesting is that going to `Preferences`->`Interface` I found that `Show status bar` was toggled on after I toggled "all additional widgets". So I toggled `Show status bar` off and clicked `Apply`, then toggled it back ok and clicked `Apply`, and I got the status bar back in the IDE. It looks like an unintended feature. :) Anyway, I believe that _"Toggle all additional widgets"_ could be renamed to "Simple Interface" and placed at the top of the View menu along with "Full Interface", so "normies" _(like mom and grandma)_ don't have to guess what widgets are, and quickly access these two options without having to go through half the menu for them. Yeah, the fact that the sidebar stays there is a bit weird. Maybe this and the status bar issue constitute a good enough reason to introduce the simple/full view options by replacing the existing toggle. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/4397#issuecomment-3172729388 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
