# Settings
|
|
|
|
## Noun-First Labeling (Scannability)
|
|
|
|
Labels must start with the subject of the setting, not the action. This allows
|
|
users to scan for the feature they want to change.
|
|
|
|
- **Rule:** `[Noun]` `[Attribute/Action]`
|
|
- **Example:** `Show line numbers` becomes simply `Line numbers`
|
|
|
|
## Positive Boolean Logic (Cognitive Ease)
|
|
|
|
Eliminate "double negatives." Booleans should represent the presence of a
|
|
feature, not its absence.
|
|
|
|
- **Rule:** Replace `Disable {feature}` or `Hide {Feature}` with
|
|
`{Feature} enabled` or simply `{Feature}`.
|
|
- **Example:** Change "Disable auto update" to "Auto update".
|
|
- **Implementation:** Invert the boolean value in your config loader so true
|
|
always equals `On`
|
|
|
|
## Verb Stripping (Brevity)
|
|
|
|
Remove redundant leading verbs like "Enable," "Use," "Display," or "Show" unless
|
|
they are part of a specific technical term.
|
|
|
|
- **Rule**: If the label works without the verb, remove it
|
|
- **Example**: Change `Enable prompt completion` to `Prompt completion`
|
