As a user, when I view the control bar, I want better affordance of what the buttons do ENHANCEMENT

Thanks for great software

As title

I suggest adding some affordance(s) to your control bar buttons (e.g. text labels and/or titles/tooltips). I see you offer some setting options so perhaps could be configurable too..?

macOS seems to have introduced this as a convention - or design guideline - for apps, which I would welcome for web apps too

Hope this helps

Thank you for the suggestion! This is something I've been thinking about recently, and for that reason I have in my public todo list "Tooltips for all major controls". The plan is that you will be able to hover over every button to see relevant information:

However, I appreciate that even this is not very accessible. An option for using icons and/or text could work very well, and would likely look something like this:

(Note that I have left the first button, Collapse/Expand Toolbar, alone. This is to make it distinct and take up as little space as possible.)

Current idea is to roughly implement this and tooltips, then add the following settings:

• Show icons for controls
• Show text for controls
• Provide mouseover text

By the way, I think you installed one of the earlier versions which had enabled by default. You can click it to search the keywords with your default search engine. If you don't want it, follow these steps:

Then press Enter or the "Save" button.

Thanks again (:
