Glad that you like it. :D

I normally do add changed strings there, but just incase i forgot, i'll go
through all my commits to see if there are any that i left out.

My goal of improving the toolbars is that regular users would never have to
open the menu bar, while advanced users are more likely to use shortcut keys
and already know the layout of the menu bar, so searching the menu bar has less
and less importance. But the option t being able to search the menu bar should
still be something to take into consideration, which is another reason to keep
those entries in the Edit menu.

Yes the changes are made and incrementally will be improved with more feedback
from the team, which is why i opened this bug report. So you can be at ease
that the same type of benefits you are enjoying in the toolbar, you'll also
enjoy in the menu bar. Or maybe not :P
