Description Torquil Macdonald Sørensen 2008-02-06 16:28:49 UTC
Version:           0.6 (using 4.0.1 (KDE 4.0.1), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-1-686

On the "Go"-menu, it should not say "Back/Forward in Document". It is confusing  because it depends on which direction you arrived at the current page.

Instead, it could say "Forward in page history" and "Backward in page history". Or "Back" and "Next", as I have seen in web-browsers.

This is subjective, of course.

I'm not sure to agree, the "in Document" suffix was added to distinguish those actions from the Konqueror actions. Otherwise, you'd see two "Back/Forward" actions when using Okular embedded in Konqueror, one of them for the Konqueror history, and the other one for Okular.

Luckly, when David Faure and me thought about this separation, I put those actions as standard actions in kdelibs; thus, moving to kdelibs.

I agree there, the current oxygen icons aren't helping either, so 
distinguishing between "back one page" and "back in the browsing 
history" should be as concise as possible. However I have a feeling that 
the wording of "Forward in page history" and "Backward in page history" 
could be improved as the entries consist of too many elements that 
together may lead to confusion. In addition translations may get fairly 
long. What about "Step backward" and "Step forward" instead?

Maybe including menu entries from embedded kparts in Konqueror isn't 
such a good idea then. I am rather tired and frustrated that interaction 
design decisions regarding Okular as a document reader have to be plain 
bad because of possible issues with the kpart in Konqueror. This leads 
to some pretty bad wording in menu entries but also a poor choice of 
shortcuts.
