Unclear Option Instruction #42

Open lwb52 opened 3 years ago

lwb52 commented 3 years ago

In the option pane, the ”Unpin active tab behavior” item says that choosing to keep "the active tab selected (may replaces the temporary one)”—this is unclear – even if the extra ”s” is removed from ”replaces” – because there is no mention of what a ”temporary” tab might be…

Thanks for the hint @lwb52. What about the following version?

Specify the behavior when unpinning the current active tab. Either keep the active tab selected or select another one, depending on the setting. In case 'Keep selected' is set, the temporary tab (italic font) may be replaced with the current active tab.

The phrase "italic font" is already used in the description of "Add tab behavior". But that's just an idea... I am open to suggestions.

It took me a minute to understand what (italic font) even meant above, but I get it now. Perhaps be specific, e.g.:

... Is case 'Keep selected' is set, the temporary tab (shown with italic font in the tab list) may be replaced...

I would actually suggest going a little further and adding something to the Usage section [of README.md] explaining how you start out with a "work"/temporary tab of sorts until it is pinned. Maybe the term could be adjusted (to e.g. "work", since "active" would be completely unclear)? I haven't used this long enough yet to make a strong recommendation.

:shrug: otherwise, it takes a bit experimentation to understand how exactly this is working.

In any case - I think this plugin will be very helpful for my workflow - thanks!
