Out of curiosity: where do you get that from? Uh oh. I was afraid someone was going to ask me that. :P I don't remember where I learned about menu items being verbs. I found this information. I don't know if it's an authoritative source, but it doesn't really matter. I just wanted to present another idea on the topic. :) ...

I would suggest that menus contain two things: a list of actions that applied to an artefact; a list of esoteric but related actions.

Dear Colleagues, silence gives consent so I have played a bit with hypotetical switching Haiku to terminfo. More info about my results and experience is coming below but, at first, let me repeat why I think the termcap should be buried: Siarzhuk Zharski писал 30.01.2013 15:31: ...
