Bug ID: 167259
Summary: Shorten some command labels (for toolbar & tabbed UI)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Consider the Calc tabbed UI's home tab, as seen e.g. in attachment 201501.
You will notice two full-height items, "Find and Replace" and "Merge and Center
Cells", which have wide and very-wide margins around the icon - to accommodate
the long text label. That also takes up precious tab area, which could
potentially have been used for more buttons, larger buttons, or including a
label for more buttons.
It would behoove us to shorten these labels, e.g. to "Find & Replace" or
"Find/Replace", and more importantly, "Merge & Center" or "Merge and Center".
Note that I am not suggesting this change apply to menus, only to icon labels.
Similar examples are found on the File tab:
"Print Directly (General Printer)" -> "Print Directly"
and possibly:
"Export Directly as PDF" -> "Export as PDF" (as there is no
Export-with-dialog-as-PDF)
"Save as Template" -> "Make Template"
"Sign existing PDF" -> "Sign a PDF" or "Sign PDF"
in the Layout tab:
"Headers and Footers" -> "Headers & Footers"
in Review:
"Protect Spreadsheet Structure" -> "Protect Structure"
in View:
"Value Highlighting" -> "Highlight Values"
------------
As a side-note, if we had groups with titles for the tabbed bar (bug 166641),
we could have shortened label names even further.
