It is really great that in KM7 we can now get a right-click context menu on Actions in a macro to access the wiki site, among other things.
However, I found it surprising that there is no context menu for Actions in the Action list. It would be really great if, in the Action List, we could get menu items for:
Help (wiki page for that action)
Action List page on wiki
Add to Favorites OR Remove from Favorites [as appropriate]
To add an action, edit your macro, click the New Action button, or equivalently the + button below the detail view. This will show the lists of possible actions.
Since actions can be listed in various ways (menu, insert-action-by-name, actions-panel) I think context is desirable.
To quote an old philosopher (somewhere) “context is key”.
I have also used “Action List” or “Actions” many times when helping people on the KM forums and had them say “Huh?”
This is why I prefer to specifically reference the editor when talking about the Actions Pane or Panel or Inspector. This is not merely personal preference but based on many instances of having to go back and forth more than necessary to explain things to people on the forum.
Actually there is only one list, what you are calling the actions-panel.
“menu” is not a list, its a menu.
“insert-action-by-name” is not a list, its a search box.
The problem is I don’t see any of the terms you are using defined anywhere.
On the main KM UI, there are several lists:
Groups
Macros
Actions
This seems pretty intuitive to me.
When you look at a screen with a column of text of items, it seems pretty natural to call it a list.
