Rename Edit menu item: Align Items (Ctrl+Shift+A)

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 3 kudos within 3 years after posting will be automatically declined.

The command "Align Items (Ctrl+Shift+A)", under menu "Edit", should be renamed to "Repeat Align Items (Ctrl+Shift+A)" or "Repeat Last Align Items (Ctrl+Shift+A)", since it does that actually.

 

It will be nice have all align options in the Context menu (also called Popup menu) and the Edit menu.

I disagree with the renaming. This is not consistent with conventions that have those menu items.

 

Not sure about the context menu. I hate to see the context menu becoming a dumping ground for commands that are available from the main menu.

Thanks smercurio_fc!

 

Same idea for "Distribute Items (Ctrl+D)", that is placed just below the align command. That could be also changed to "Repeat Distribute Items (Ctrl+D)" or "Repeat Last Distribute Items (Ctrl+D)".

 

Other idea is to explicit the shoes the last command, changing it dynamically. If the last align was a "Vertical Centers" the menu item should change to something like this"Align Items: Vertical Centers (Ctrl+Shift+A)", if the last distribute command was a "Vertical Gap" the command in the menu could change to something like this: "Distribute Items: Vertical Gap (Ctrl+D)".

 

Nowadays how can you know the last align or distribute command for sure, if they where used a while ago?
