What about a "View" entry with "Source Code", "Desktop
version", "Mobile
version", "Printable version" as its submenus?
We could also hide the current view from the list since it would be a link
to the current page which is probably bad according to some guidelines. So
when in Desktop version mode you would see only mobile, print & source code.

chosen display mode (except wiki source) is sticky, meaning that
it will continue to be used for the following page views
- Print Preview disappears from ACTIONS
To me, view code is not a display action: "view code" should look in desktop, mobile and print view. I'd rather
have "view code" in the
"Actions" menu.
On one hand, this behaves differently than the other 3 entries in the
Display menu.
On the other hand, this is not something you DO with the document
(like rename or delete), but a different way of displaying it, thus I
strongly think it doesn't belong to the Actions menu, and I moderately
believe that it belongs in the Display menu.
About the Display option, I think that would be
great. Do you also plan
on
adding an autodetect based on the user agent?
Kind of, stylesheets already have a "media" attribute that specifies
for which type of device it should be used. The display menu will just
"force" one of the stylesheets to be used, regardless of the current
media, something like:
<link rel="stylesheet" media="all or print"
Another question: should it be called
"Display" or "View" ? "View" sounds
maybe a bit more intuitive than "Display" but I don't have a strong pow
on
this.
I don't know either, but I'm slightly inclined towards "Display".
I'm +1
about a "Display" or "View" menu entry with Desktop, Mobile and
Print.
Only potential issue is that it might make the top menu look a bit
crowded.
Any objections/comments?
See my remarks above. Great idea overall.
Guillaume
