The Comic Panel Editing Tool has two buttons—one for Cutting mode, one for Merging mode—but neither has labels, names, nor tooltips. This isn’t beginner-friendly. At minimum, show button names on hover; ideally, also add tooltips with documentation descriptions: Cutting mode: Cuts through shapes to create gutters of specified width. Merging mode: Removes the gutter between shapes.
Also, these options can use disambiguation, rewrite and/or tooltips: #: plugins/tools/tool_knife/KisToolKnifeOptionsWidget.ui:162 Horizontal: Horizontal Gaps: #: plugins/tools/tool_knife/KisToolKnifeOptionsWidget.ui:176 Vertical: Vertical Gaps: #: plugins/tools/tool_knife/KisToolKnifeOptionsWidget.ui:190 Diagonal: Diagonal Gaps: #: plugins/tools/tool_knife/KisToolKnifeOptionsWidget.ui:200 Angle: Diagonal Angle Threshold: Otherwise it is not easy to understand what they do without consulting the documentation.

Thank you, Tiar! :)
I haven't closed it yet because I agree that it's not an ideal UI and I didn't change the visible text yet because it would mark everything as fuzzy and we're tagging very soon, so it's unlikely new translations would get in. I did consider "Vertical Gaps:" instead of "Vertical:" but I wasn't convinced, and I didn't have a better idea for a short name there.
