Dialogs, sub-header title help

Postby vwanweb » Sun Oct 16, 2016 2:17 pm

Hello,

Working on an Inkscape keyboard shortcuts project and need some help with the sub-header 'title' of Inkscape non-dock dialogs.

When dock dialogs are 'docked' (iconify this dock - button) they are reduced to the right side of the inkscape interface (main window) between the Scrollbar and Snap Controls bar. Categorizing these shortcuts into the same group is already referenced at, inkscape.org https://inkscape.org/en/doc/keys091.html

The terms that come to mind for me are floating and modal. The print dialog, for example, is modal (you cannot use the main window while it's open), while the preference dialog is floating (you can still edit the image).
Something doesn't work? - Keeping an eye on the status bar can save you a lot of time!
