[Bug 139954] Improve labels for [M] and [T] in AutoCorrect Options tab and add labels in Localized Options tab

--- Comment #11 from V Stuart Foote  ---
The [T] typing corrections apply as the strings being entered are being parsed
by the edit shell.

The [M] modify corrections are applied against existing paragraph(s) as
selected (or a full document selection) as the ODF is parsed/reparsed by user
action--so yes it requires an Apply action. From Tools -> Autocorrect "Apply"
.uno:autoFormatApply or the "Apply with edits" .uno:autoFormatRedlineApply
which triggers tracked changes UI. Existing on menu or customize assign a
keyboard shortcut.

So, as an example of a modify action, create a dummy text and add a few empty
paragraphs. Then check enable the AutoCorrect Options [M] "Remove blank
paragraphs" feature.  Apply it and watch the empty paragraphs be stripped.

Any [M] actions can be user configured to meet their workflows.

Ability to control the two "flavors" of autocorrection remains a fully
functional feature useful in reflowing and "modifying" existing content.

Seems more a RTM type issue if folks really don't get it.

The current state of this dialog is unacceptable, and the [M] and [T] column
titles specifically. The opening comment for this bug remains valid.

[M] and [T] are fully intuitive? Come one, be serious.

I completely disagree, it is not clear at all. Typing is literally a way of
modifying the text. If I put the cursor into an existing paragraph and start
typing then I am literally “modifying existing text”, but that is not what [M]
is referring to. In that case it is the [T] checkbox that is relevant because
it is still about typing. The [M] checkbox specifically refers to clicking the
”AutoCorrect -> Apply” menu item. I think it would be much clearer if the label
had the word ”apply” in it. ”Modify” is so vague that it can apply just as much
to typing as it can to the ”apply” menu item. You can’t claim that it is
intuitive after everybody on the bug report has said that they didn’t
understand what the checkbox does without further explanation.

+1 => WF

There are two conditional states for applying Autoformatting:

[M] is while *modifying* existing text. 
[T] is while *typing* to enter completely new text.

Assume the M & T can be localized, and that the strings shown on dialog are
already localized as l10n team chooses.

IMHO suitable to task and fully intuitive.  With no need to change anything.

Well, I think it very much needs changing seeing as all three of us on the bug
report didn’t understand it. The “busywork” done by the translators will help
speakers of the target languages too who presumably currently have an equally
incomprehensible translation.

> not more clear than "Replace while modifying existing text".

I have to strongly disagree. For me, “modifying” and “typing” are basically the
same thing whereas “applying” is clearly different. It is also the same word
that is used in the relevant menu option so it is much more likely that the
user will make the link between the two.

Otherwise, do you have a better suggestion?

Change the description to get a different identifier? Sounds like busywork for
l10n. And "When applying AutoCorrect to an existing text” seems to me not more
clear than "Replace while modifying existing text".

I didn’t understand what the [M] does either. My initial guess based on the
wording was that it’d be something like if you are editing in the middle of a
paragraph rather than typing at the end of one. That is not the case though.
The help text explains it more clearly:

“You can also apply [M] AutoCorrect options to a selection or a whole document
of existing text by using Tools - AutoCorrect - Apply.”

I think we should change the explanation of [M] to “[A] When applying
AutoCorrect to an existing text”. I think it’d be really helpful to have the
word “apply” in there because that is the name of the menu option used to
invoke the operation. We should get rid of “modify” because that is very vague
and maybe change the [M] to [A] for “apply”.

Topic was on the agenda for the design meeting but didn't receive further
input.

Short labels make sense but having better tooltips would be good. Guess [M]
means to finish editing with a white-space or return. But not sure =>

Note that the following already appears (toward the bottom) on the Options tab
(but nothing on Localized Options).

[M] Replace while modifying existing text
[T]: AutoCorrect while typing

These texts can probably be improved (and also added to Localized Options tab),
which is not mutually exclusive with adding tooltip and extended tooltips.

Don't think we find the philosophers' stone here. The column width has space
for one character or icon and it's hard to imagine that any of this makes the
procedure clear. What we can and should do is to add a tooltip - and an
extended tooltip. What could be the text?
