Hi, Yu, Carlos, I agree with all changes, proposed by Yu.
2014-01-27 Carlos López González <genet...@gmail.com>: > if the user doesn't have opportunity to make a mouse right click? I believe this problem is solved by OS and desktop environment (it's called Assistive technology if I remember correctly). ^__^ > what if the toolbox is hidden (not accessible)? I believe if toolbox is hidden, then it's done intentionaly and user most likely will usek key bindings to switch tools, not awkward menu items. ^__^ So, I'm strongly encourage Yu to make the changes and submit a pull request. ^__^ K. > > 2014-01-26 Yu Chen <jco...@gmail.com> > >> Hi, >> >> In menubar of mainwindow, there are 10 items: File, Edit, View, >> Canvas, Layer, Keyframe, Tool, Set, Plug-Ins and Help. >> >> Do we really need Layer, Tool, Set, Keyframe menus?
