#161 More proposals for the Text menu

[Christoph Schiller]

In my personal opinion, "Word Count" and "Spelling" should be in the Text menu, not in the Tools menu.

If this happens, the "Find repeated words" could also move to the Text menu, out of the spelling submenu.

Maybe one could also add
a Text menu item "Average number of words in sentences''
and a Text menu item "Frequently used words''
and a Text menu item "Frequently used expressions'' (of at most 4 words)

In an ideal world, there would also be a link to a Thesaurus.

These proposals comes from somebody who writes many long texts - if this is not the user you care about, put them aside. For a heavy writer, all the tools that concern writing texts could/should go in the "Text menu".

The first part of this proposal has been implemented like this:

• the Spelling submenu is now located in the Edit (not Text) menu as is the case with some Apple apps (like TextEdit and Mail).
• the Find Repeated Words and Word Count commands are now in the Tools ↣ Window Utilities submenu.

Concerning the other requests, could you open separate tickets and specify more precisely what you expect. They are certainly very useful commands but in my opinion they are more specialised features which should go in a separate package which could add to the Window Utilities submenu (very much like the Window Lines package) .

Same with the Thesaurus idea: could you elaborate in a separate ticket? Note that the Www Dictionary package already has some sort of support for dictionaries and thesaurus.
