Steps to locate translation error

  1. these are suggestions for a better wording:

    Main menu and global menu actions. Opens dialog to configure keyboard inputs.
    I think this better tells what it is for.
    3.Invert scroll direction => invert mouse wheel
    Main menu since most people will think of the direction of the prompted text

My only issue with invert mouse wheel is that it assumes the person is using a mouse. Many users make use of the prompter from a laptop and they don't all attach a mouse to it.

I get your point, but I think most people would understand the meaning. Also, I think, "scroll direction" refers to scrolling the text that is prompted. At least this was my assumption when trying QPrompt first without a manual.

I've gone with a different solution and instead added "(Natural scrolling)" to the existing text to help make it clearer. This is the way developers of the KDE Plasma Desktop Environment chose to deal with this problem, which in this case helps QPrompt keep close to KDE human interface guidelines by making a statement that is true at all times while simultaneously providing additional information to make that statement a bit clearer.

This should make it easier to understand without changing it to
the less precise "Invert mouse wheel".
