[TC 10 b10] String 2105 is confusing
String 2105 reads "double click to apply" but it is shown right after the little edit box used to hide menu items in the list above, this is confusing because I double clicked the edit box several times before realizing I should have clicked the menu item instead. Maybe this wording is better:
2105="double click menu item to apply"
2105="double click menu item to apply"

Re: [TC 10 b10] String 2105 is confusing
Now that I'm moving string 2105 to its own line, I'm thinking of making this more detailed so people could understand it better, e.g.
2105="double click menu item to add/remove special character"
or
2105="double click menu item to hide/show menu item"
or
2105="double click menu item to hide/show it"
What do you think?
2105="double click menu item to add/remove special character"
or
2105="double click menu item to hide/show menu item"
or
2105="double click menu item to hide/show it"
What do you think?

2105="Double click menu item to change its state"

In my opinion, a user should be informed here that he should double-click on a menu item,
so that the entry is hidden or shown afterwards.
The first part already mentions the following:
[✓] Hide menu items starting with this character: ?

Re: [TC 10 b10] String 2105 is confusing
Well, all the suggestions start with "Double click menu item to", so they all fulfill this requirement.In my opinion, a user should be informed here that he should double-click on a menu item,
How about
2105="double click menu item to hide/show it (add/remove the character)"

OK, I have updated difres1000.zip accordingly. Please let me know if there are other changes needed, afterwards I will contact also the translators of the not included languages.

String 2105 changed to:

But it looks like the author forgot to change the string in German - wcmd_deu.lng still uses:
in TC 10 rc1"double click menu item to hide/show it (add/remove the character)"

But it looks like the author forgot to change the string in German - wcmd_deu.lng still uses:
2105="doppelklicken zum Anwenden"
