this isn't about compactness. this is about vertical layout |
Created attachment 161559 [details] The vertical text in the sidebar that is configurable in Kate SUMMARY In Kate, it is possible to configure the sidebar to have vertical text. This is also supported in other, non-KDE, apps such as the Clementine music player. This would be beneficial for users with small screens, as it would reduce the screen real estate occupied by the sidebar. There is an alternative in only using icons, but this is generally less compact, and removes the text entirely making it in my opinion less clear. Additionally the buttons become rather small for Fitt's law. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Right click sidebar 2. See no option for "Show Text & Icons" but vertically OBSERVED RESULT No option for vertical text EXPECTED RESULT An option for vertical text to reduce the size occupied by the sidebar, similar to what is shown in the attachment.
