help menu lacking instructions for insertions and deletions of annotations in neuroglancer #242

Open befriedman opened 1 month ago

Could we review help pulldown field?

Many tools are cryptic e.g. what does "touch" mean Tools referred to as "tool" with no additional descriptor I could not find prompts for insert vertex for polygon or delete vertex etc etc

eddyod commented 1 month ago

I just looked at the code and for some reason the original authors loop through the entire alphabet and assign those 'Tools' to an undefined action. I assume it is a future placeholder for something. We could get rid of those, and then create a useful set of shortcut key help items for our polygon tool.

I removed the loop that produces all those 'tool' help items. It should look a lot less cluttered now. The delete vertex help item is listed as 'delete annotation' ctrl-alt mousedown2 I'm not sure how to add a annotation to an existing polygon.

Beth and Marissa to add help shortcuts.

mm6654 commented 4 weeks ago

The following commands should be removed since they are not useful to user: Help Menu for Neuroglancer Help Menu for Neuroglancer (1)

The following command descriptions should be changed to something more specific: Help Menu for Neuroglancer (2)

Please add the numerical shortcuts that toggle layers on/off back: Help Menu for Neuroglancer (3)

The following commands are unclear - not sure what their functionality is:

  1. the "select-position" functionality Help Menu for Neuroglancer (4)

  2. The "snap" functionality Help Menu for Neuroglancer (5)
