Components
The component I want to suggest here is to add more formatting commands like edit properties, rotate, move and mirror. Also I want to suggest to add shortcuts for common formatting command and these shortcuts are found by right clicking.
Proposal
Formatting commands of Logisim are found in the Edit menu of our Menu Bar
For my opinion as I am using this software, there are some formatting commands that Logisim should have.
For example is rotate, there are times the direction of our component were it faces are not suitable for our intended circuit design. We need to rotate it for design purposes and there are some circuits that that components must face with each other.
For the shortcuts;
When we right click the canvass or workstation of logisim, there will be nothing to appear unlike some design and simulator software. When we right click the device/component place in the canvas, the only commands that will appear are delete and show attributes.
At my end, it is easier to access those command just by right clicking rather than going to menu bar and look for the command.
What I am proposing here is to add more formatting commands for logisim and commands may be possibly access by using right click shortcut. For not making it redundant to have commands in menu bar and in the right click, not all commands must be access in the shortcuts. Only commands that are common and frequently used must be accessible to the shortcut.
Mockups / Examples
Here's how the suggestion will be implemented.
This is the current Edit Menu of logisim.
Now, some commands will be added;
For the shortcut;
This is the current right click menu of logisim;
Now, some frequently used command will be added.
Benefits
Here are the benefits;
- Logisim will have additional commands which users need it.
- Users of Logisim will have easier access of frequently used command because of right click shortcut.
