--- Comment #1 from Stephen Leibowitz <[email protected]> ---
The next paragraph is a revision of the second paragraph in my 2018-02-04
comment.
Implementing the suggestion in the first paragraph of my original comment would
not really explain the purpose of the icon to the left of the ruler. Of course,
a user could read the documentation. But we should consider a bigger change.
The tooltip for the icon might initially say, “Left tab. Click to change the
tab type. Click on ruler to set the tab.” Instead of cycling through the tab
types, a left-click would open a context menu to select a tab type. The
right-click function is already used and I am not suggesting that it be
changed. It opens a context menu to set the measurement unit for the ruler.
In my original comment, I suggested that tab stops on the ruler should have a
tooltip that shows the position, such as 0.50 ". This idea could be extended,
in the same way I suggested that the indents on the ruler be extended. As a tab
stop icon is being dragged, the tooltip would be displayed, with the tab’s
numerical position continuously updated in the tooltip. This would facilitate
fine adjustments.
