Hi,
in table Structure, under Action we have several action verbs but (under More) we have also terms like "Primary", "Index". It was suggested in a bug report to change them to "Add primary", "Add index", etc.
I think it makes sense. Comments?

It makes sense. I have no objections.
On a side note : In 3.4 text was added to those icons (in structure, database and tables overview, ...) . It certainly helps identifying what those buttons do, but on some pages, fe the tables overview, it all becomes a bit crowded in my opinion. What was wrong with just the mouseover captions? Is there an option to disable the inline caption and just have a mouseover caption?
Greets,
Dieter

I believe that in the Google Summer of Code 2010 project handled by Lori, usability tests were conducted, resulting in this suggestion. Maybe Lori can give more feedback.
To implement this behavior, the default value of $cfg['PropertiesIconic'] was set to 'both'.

Forgot to mention that this is configurable also via the new user preferences module, for installations which have the "phpMyAdmin configuration storage".

Here is the commit related to this behavior:

Set properties to be text and icons by default

I agree as well.

It was changed by Lori after doing some tests where almost nobody was able to guess what most of the icons should actually do. And I must say it's quite true, so it makes sense to start with text + icons and allow users to disable text later after they get familiar with the icons.
