Miscellaneous

• Issue 7194: Add a preference for the indentation in the Command Editor
  • use just one pref, set to 4 by default

• Feedback from Sören:
  • On OS X the window buttons should be at the left like in other windows. This would also avoid confusion with the search buttons.
  • Tab text should be vertically centered with the toolbar icons.
  • Marking of executable lines is unreliable and should be removed until it's fixed.
  • No negative feedback
