From: Lucas Sandery [three am design] Date: Tue, 01 Oct 2013 02:31:01 GMT Subject: gitk next/prev buttons Message-ID: <524A33E5.7090001@threeamdesign.com.au> The "next" and "prev" buttons are lacking consistency and logic. For RTL languages previous is almost always on the left, and next on the right. The words are contradictory, "next" actually goes to backwards chronologically, and "prev" goes forward. Could the positions of the buttons be switched and the text be replaced with "earlier" and "later"? This would make the reference time not just order, and would mean the updated UI would not be confused with the previous one. Also, the arrow-only next/previous buttons (beside the commit ID) should really point up and down. Horizontal directions are ambiguous for navigation of a vertical list.
