Build out a top level menu #49

Open ColinEberhardt opened 2 years ago

ColinEberhardt commented 2 years ago

What functions should be in this menu? Which application buttons should be removed?

OiNutter commented 2 years ago

I think the stuff that's currently in the editor windows overflow menu (copy, paste etc) could be moved. As well as probably the open and save stuff. Maybe even undo and redo, although I don't think we gain much by moving them. Anything else I think benefits from being close on hand. The stuff to move I think is the less commonly used stuff, or stuff that you'd generally do with keyboard shortcuts anyway. So for instance I think the export buttons should stay where they are

To aid with user muscle memory, it would be best to mimic the button layout of KDB Studio (or at least have an option for that arrangement).

OiNutter commented 2 years ago

@gyorokpeter are you meaning the icon buttons that are part of the UI, or the top level menu (File, Edit etc)?

gyorokpeter commented 2 years ago

Mostly the toolbar. I don't use the menu that often but it would be better if the menu was similar as well.
