Description
I would find the "Get API Token" dialog nicer to use, and easier to write documentation around, if it was organized like this:
- Example
settings.conf
- "Copy to clipboard" button for
settings.conf
- Example shell to set environment variables (maybe? see #22552 for issues with it)
- "Copy to clipboard" button for shell (NOTE: the current button says "Copy link to clipboard" - that's weird since there is no link)
- Current token expiration time
- "Get new token" button that works as now
I have seen users copy the shell commands into settings.conf
. This would eliminate that confusion. I think this also puts the functionality that users want most at the top of the dialog, and goes down from there.
The capitalization of the "Get API token" menu entry should match the capitalization of the "Get API Token" dialog title.
Our web documentation includes several walkthroughs of this dialog. When you change the dialog, you should update the documentation to match.
