Do as you see fit.
I did, but I have more questions now.
PS: I realize that I should have read tickets #12182 and #12187 before
posting point 3/. I do not want to initiate an endless discussion about
these things :) It is just that I noticed this while looking at the
statistics thing.
1/ the word/char checkboxes, would "Count Words" be clearer than "Word
Count" ? (I think about themes where checkbox is not visible when off)
2/ we have to settle on wording:
statusbar: Characters (No Blanks)
statusbar menu: Character Count (Without Blanks)
statistics dialog: %1$d characters (excluding blanks)
So, native English speakers, what is the right way to convey that we
do not count blanks?
3/ The contextual menu is a weird merge of what LibreOffice and MS
Office do:
* LO: each element has its menu, the zoom menu has example values to
set (fit width, fit page, 50%, 75%, etc.), no way to tell which
statistics should be there
* MSO: only one menu with checkboxes to indicate which elements
should be shown, no way to tell which statistics should be there, no way
to set zoom from menu
* LyX one menu that does both selection of elements and zooming, zoom
in/out and reset to default (main use IMO is to learn shortcuts),
weird-looking precomputed zoom values
I understand that splitting the menu would make zoom menu unavailable
when both count and slider are off; some solution would be needed if
splitting the menus. OTOH I am not sure that the zoom menu is useful,
except maybe for the reset to default, which is not available via a
mouse click. In this respect, I like the Firefox approach, where
clicking on the zoom indicator resets zoom to default.
So as you can see, lots of small questions.
