Perhaps, where practical, make JHS similar to JQT. Such as making the words used in drop-down menus the same when they serve the same function. Why should the file access drop-down in JHS be called "ide"? Why not call it "Files" and use the same words as used in the files drop-down in JQT for corresponding functions? Reduces the learning curve for a JQT user to learn JHS.
