Development:Planning:MenuCleanup

This document tracks planned changes to the menu's layout for 1.1. See also the meta bug for menu cleanup, Bug 328173. We should discuss which of these actually make the cut, and which add up to menu bloat.

Current Proposals

Adding Menu Items

• Add "Unblock this website" in the Camino menu + keyboard shortcut - Bug 272171
  • The only reason this hasn't already been WONTFIXed is that Sam once expressed interest in it on IRC. I know he was planning on writing a defense of it.
• Menu item for "default font size" - Bug 181712 (has patch)
• List all tabs in the Window menu (sessions) Bug 197720
  • An alternative to this is to use a palette, which is an idea I kind of like. -Froodian 23:17, 31 July 2006 (PDT)

    As do I; I think it keeps the Window menu from becoming unusable with heavy tab use, and the palette seems better tuned to scaling well across all levels of tab use. —sardisson 23:45, 31 July 2006 (PDT)

• Implement bookmark folders' "Open in Tabs"/"Open in New Tabs" with alternate menu items - Bug 290212 (has patch)

  This really is completely unrelated to this process; those items are already in the menus

Moving or Renaming Menu Items

• Put "Show History" (and others?) in the Go menu, changing the menu's name if need be - Bug 275170 and Bug 271943
• Move "Find" options into its own submenu - Bug 279686

  This should have been WONTFIXed back when Josh kicked it from 0.9 IMO —sardisson 23:33, 31 July 2006 (PDT)

• "Page Info" should be in the View menu - Bug 319408

Removing Menu Items

• Remove extra menu separators (Local Network Services and double History separator when there's no history) - Bug 321937

What We Need

We need to end up with a list of menus with menu items for Camino 1.1. Collecting this information and deciding about it all together makes this a feasible project in time for 1.1 given nibs' unpatchability and our review process.

Things That Need To Be Done To This Document

• Collect individual menu item change ideas from Bug 275170, Bug 271943 and Bug 319408.
• Fill in menu items as they currently stand
