Help bug (may be)

To explain why I called adding more than 20 items "unreasonable" in the first place, look at what you get when you right click in the editor:



I have only 5 help files listed, now imagine there were 30... the menu would fill the entire screen! Maybe you feel differently, but to me, having many choices is not a good thing.

Anything beyond 5-6 choices starts getting irritable, and anything beyond 10 will start to seriously hinder your work.

Of course if you never right-click in the editor (and use "Find declaration/implementation", for example), then this does not matter an awful lot. :lol:

On that subject :)...why is this not done using a submenu?  The Export functions had the same problem, so they were (quite sensibly, IMHO) switched to a submenu in the File menu.

That would at least prevent excessive pollution of the main popup :)

Makes the lookup function yet more complicated, though.

I thought the same when I requested the "uncluttering the contextual menu" some months ago.

The best solution I'm thinking right now is put an option to change between both, which defaults to like it's now, but power users can choose to become it a submenu.

Anyways, it looks like a natural thing with the ActionsManager. :)
