GUI feedback

Zotero is one of my favorite reference manager. I have used it at least for 1.5 years and here are my feedback regarding user interface. Sorry if you get my feedback insane, but I like minimal interface and reduced redundancy. In addition, I think multiple option for a single action overwhelm user.

These are my personal feedback regarding user interface.
1. close (x) is redundant: 1. File->close, 2. Tab->(x)
2. Exit [x] redundant: 1. File->Exit, 2. Title bar -> [X]
3. Find (Q) redundant: 1. Edit->Find, 2. Q icon in embedded reader
4. Rotate left and right embedded pdf read has known symbol can be put
5. Export, Print, Show in library can be put next to search icon
6. Go last and first page
|< ^ [2. 2/36] v >|

7. Tools: the least frequently used interface. It is possible to embed it in Setting. I think adding/removing extension is part of setting. Install browser connector is a one time use interface.

8. Copy citation and bibliography can be added as part of right vertical icon group and part of righ click menu.

Alternatively a three horizontal line icon as a menu of configuration is now accepted and familiar to user. I think there are more browser user than any other application on computer.

Once the top part redundancy is removed, it gonna be optimal interface.

By the way Edit->Find interface is not associated with any action.

Have a great day and thank you for providing us such a great software.
