I just wanted to make a note that nearly always a window / dock / something "closable" has a "X" button in the top right corner and it's intuitive that this "X" closes it. Having a different icon for this action introduces an unneded delay in ergonomics I guess. ________________________________________ From: A.

One could think of making "any" action from Environment->Keyboard "pinnable" to the toolbar. But would /you/ actually /use/ it, instead of triggering it by the keyboard shortcut? > 2.

"How" make this clear? Ok, I am using FakeVim, I personally really /never/ look up there, it's all vsp/sp/Ctrl-W <something> for me, so I don't really know what an icon with a "good" visual hint looks like. Is [x] a good enough hint for "get rid of $thing, whatever $thing is" ? > 4.

This is close to the first request, right? Andre' -- Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/qt-creator
