User Interface Text Guideline

In short

  • use "Title Caps" for window titles, menu items, push buttons, etc.
  • use "Sentence caps" for radio buttons, checkboxes, or dialog messages.
  • assign "&" access keys to almost all menu items.
  • append ellipsis "..." to menu items only when additional information is
  required to perform the action. For example,
    • "Update..." will open dialog to select which revision to update.
    • "Diff to Parent" will open diff window immediately.
