Opened this issue · 0 comments

 * xed - Version 3.2.2
 * Distribution Linux Mint 20.3

Issue
Menu 'File' - entry to open 'Recents…' (the LRU - last recently used) can be found after 'Print' group

Steps to reproduce
(in xed open menu 'File')

Expected behaviour

File

New
Open…
Recents…

Save
(etc.)

Other information
These GUI rules are old, I use them since consulting of the late 80th, common to styleguides from IBM (GUI for Windows 95?), from UCSD (user centred system design, of Univ. of California, San Diego, USA) and back to the early Xerox guides.

user's expectation / group items of same context, e.g.:
(start to open a dokument, new or existing)
(do sth. with the current document like save, print, and close)
("misc" if needed, like application settings, if no other main menu entry)
(exit the application +ask if unsaved/dirty)

Thank you for your work, best wishes,
Klaus
