Nate Graham <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #41 from Nate Graham <[email protected]> --- Confusion over which pane will be closed definitely keeps me from using the Split feature more often. After five years, we have not managed to achieve consensus on what the toolbar button should do, whether or not it should be configurable, or whether we should add a second (hidden by default) button that has the other behavior. Looking through the duplicates, some people want the active pane closed, while other want the inactive pane closed. In such a circumstance, IMHO adding a user preference is the way to go, but if that's not an option, let's consider alternative ideas. Here are some: - Add individual close buttons to each split view pane somewhere, so you can click on that pane's own close button to make sure you're closing the one you intend - Make the "Close" button's text indicate which view it will close (e.g. "close left pane"/ "Close right pane") - Have the "Close" button close the opposite pane when middle-clicked on (and adjust the tooltip to indicate this) - Adjust the toolbar button's icon to make the pane that will be closed more obvious (I only just now noticed that it changes depending on which pane is focused) Thoughts? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
