As for the .rc file, would anyone object if I just delete it? It doesn't look like it's being used.
No objection from me. Looks like I was the one who added it originally, and no one else has done anything with it.
By the way, verbification is pretty simple thing to do, so it's a good work for novice coders. Just review verbs.h and verbs.cpp, they're pretty self-explanatory.
For example just recently, I verbified the select next/select prev actions, bound to Tab/Shift+Tab, and as a result these keys now work in all tools and not only Selector/Node as before.
Hmm, could you provide a bit more detail? verbs.h looks straightforward enough, but looking at verbs.cpp it'd take a bit of time to nut out what would need to be done there.
I've been thinking that we should give added visibility to areas like this where novice coders could quite easily get involved and make a difference to the codebase. I know there are a large number of people who would like to help but who are not confident in being able to code. So tasks like this that can quite easily be boiled down to sort of a 'paint by numbers' procedure could be things we may be able to farm out more, like we've been able to successfully do with translations.
Maybe just explain what steps were involved in doing the select action changes you did, along with any tips on things to watch out for?
