User Experience/Command search/Commands
From Apache OpenOffice Wiki
This page is for designing the names of commands and their synonyms. The items are shown as they appear in menu entries and button tool tips, followed by additional or replacement command names for each.
Items are listed only once: that is, if an item is listed as a menu entry, it should not be listed again as a button, and if it is listed as a button in one tool bar, it should not be listed in another tool bar. Button tool bars are shown in order of approximate importance.
