UI Autodoc, editors&view toolbar buttons tooltips must be the name of the command

Currently the main toolbar buttons tooltips have heterogeneous types of contents:

  • various glosses (eg. “Lire les textes”, “Calculer le lexique d’une requête”, “Construire une partition”…)
  • the name of the command (eg. “Propriétés”, “Sous-corpus”, “Lexique”…)

This can trouble beginners UX and slow their learning curve of how to call the right commands from various places:

  • a toolbar
  • the main menu
  • a contextual menu.

Solution

Set the toolbar buttons tooltips to the EXACT name of the command in the editors&view toolbars and in the contextual menus (eg. “Édition”, “Propriétés”, “Sous-corpus”, “Partition”, “Lexique”, “Index”…).

Every toolbar of TXM is concerned by this UI policy.
