Please hide menu item "sort lines".

Closed this issue · 2 comments

In xed 2.8.4 (Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.1) there is the menu item "sort lines" permanently visible in the dropdown menu. Clicking it accidentally will shuffle the entire text and can badly upset novices.

Because this is a rarely used exotic feature (only needed for ASCII directory listings?), please hide it by default from the menu and add a switch in the settings to enable it for people those need it.

No No No. Xed is the default TEXT editor in mint. Many times I sort text data using this.
If nothing more, just make it optional on the preferences menu!

Any accidental edition can be reverted easily, including this one.
