Hi all, I was working in the headerprint for the walk and fly navigation and I was wondering if we have a standard/guideline for the operators messages.
A few examples showing some inconsistency: Knife Tool operator: ================ "LMB: define cut lines, Return/Spacebar: confirm, Esc or RMB: cancel, E: new cut, Ctrl: midpoint snap (OFF), ..." Vert Slide operator: ================ "Vert Slide: 0.001, (E)ven: OFF, Alt or (C)lamp: ON" Grease Pencil Erase Session: ======================== "Grease Pencil Erase Session: Hold and draw LMB or RMB to erase | ESC/Enter to end" That made me wonder about a few points: * When to use "/", when to use "or"? * When to use "," when to use "|" * Should we have the shortcut mixed with the action (e.g., (C)lamp) whenever we can? * Should we have the value (ON/OFF) outside parenthesis? * Why to omit the cancel/confirm actions in some cases (vert slide, bisect, ...) but not in others (knife)? * Why to use shortcut:action (e.g., "LMB: cut") instead of action:shortcut(e.g., "Cut: LMB"). 2.49, Fly Navigation at least, was using the latter. * Should we always show the value (ON/OFF) for the actions that are enabled/disabled with press/release (e.g., Ctrl in Knife Cut, or Shift in the walk navigation)? * ... probably other questions to be pinpointed, I didn't look to all cases I'm not volunteering to tackle this, but I think this is something the UI team could/should take a look. It would be nice to have a guideline for this somewhere.
