Document right click menus in the properties editor #559

Closed ReinerBforartists closed 10 months ago

ReinerBforartists commented 10 months ago

In the properties editor we have documented the context menu. But we haven't documented all these little right click menus for when you click at an element.

In the 3d view we have documented all these right click menus in the first chapter, and not where they happen. Which would make sense since we avoid too much double entries then.

Some rmb menus happens to have the same content than in the 3d view. Which might save us some time.

rmbmenus

Let's have a look here

Hmm, cannot find the place anymore where we documented the rmb menus for the 3d view. For the outliner we have documented it in its chapter. But the outliner contains just one chapter. So i am not sure if we should add a right click menu chapter to every editor. It would make sense though. To document the rmb menus at the place where they happen would produce a lot of double menu entries.

Either way, it makes me unhappy that we don't have the rmb menus documented in a proper way. So let's have a look how this turns out. It's a bigger operation for sure.

The interface chapter talks of the right click menus. I think that's enough... there is no other way to document it per editor without being redundant by logging it's operators... Twice.

Unless we briefly mention it exists in every single editor.... With screen cap... Which would be wild.

There is unfortunately not this much information in the interface chapter. I see a few ways to improve things here. Let me do some changes :)

Ah, it is in chapter 6. rmb menus at tools. Okay, this work was more or less for the birds.

Merged all the relevant rmb menu info in chapter 6 now.
