Subject: gitk next/prev buttons
Date: Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:01:01 +0930 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <524A33E5.7090001@threeamdesign.com.au> (raw)
The "next" and "prev" buttons are lacking consistency and logic. For RTL
languages previous is almost always on the left, and next on the right.
The words are contradictory, "next" actually goes to backwards
chronologically, and "prev" goes forward. Could the positions of the
buttons be switched and the text be replaced with "earlier" and "later"?
This would make the reference time not just order, and would mean the
updated UI would not be confused with the previous one.
Also, the arrow-only next/previous buttons (beside the commit ID) should
really point up and down. Horizontal directions are ambiguous for
navigation of a vertical list.
