Still soliciting feedback on reordered Options (now, to avoid several
iterations of patches);
some questions
- should "Searching type" be in the "Keyboard Input" section?
- in general, does the "General Preferences" section make sense?
(Cookies could go under "Headers transferred to servers", but
1. I think it should be in a prominent place, and
2. it's about more than "Headers _transferred to_", actually
it's primarily about accepting _from_.
- I'm tempted to put "Editor" at the _beginning_ of the "Keyboard
Input" section - it's so important that users fill this in (if
not restricted), otherwise they get only inferior fallback behavior
when using various features.
- Anything else (that can be done by just reordering, or renaming of
_sections_)?
I'll probably leave it as it is, unless someone has strong opinions
on the above. So if you prefer some changes, this is the time to
speak up.
