I have found this adjustment to history to be useful. It works on code from Dorian. It may not work on other versions. It adds some options to the history menus and buttons.
Changes for History - KM 74 Beta 4
[1] Main.kmm
Line 128+- Delete $kHistory line
Line 205+- Overwrite code section 'View Menu' with these lines
# view menu
setmenu("Tool&bars",macro,$__o,"kmPrefs(toolbars)");
$kPrivacy?$__i=2:$__i=1;
setmenu("Histor&y",macro,$__o,"kmPrefs(history)",$__i);
$kTabs?setmenu("T&abs",macro,$__o,"kmPrefs(tabs)",0):0;
$kTabs?setmenu("T&abs",separator,1):0;
Line 796+- Insert this code after '$OnInit=$OnInit."_Open_BuildMenu;";'
but prior to '# ----- Special Macro Execution (based on OpenURL and pref)'.
# PLACES (history)
Places_History{
macroinfo=_("Open the history");
$OpenURL="chrome://history/content/history.xul"; &OpenURL_InNewWindow;
}
[2] Menus.cfg [ root\browser\defaults\settings\menus.cfg ]
Line 60+- Replace the history section with this code
# ----- History
%ifplugin macros
Histor&y{
View &History=macros(Places_History)
%ifplugin privacy
&Clear History=privacy(ClearHistory)
%endif
@SHistory
}
%endif
[3] Delete the file places.kmm from root\macros.
[4] Use the infomation at the bottom of this to change (if needed) the toolbars.cfg file of the skin(s)
which you use.
[5] To verify your changes are correct, start KM and go to several webpages in the current window.
Then click on View - History. You should have View History, Clear History, Options..., and a list of
the sites you have visited in the current window. You should also have a similar display if you
right click the history button. The accel keyset CTRL + H is already in place in line 114 of accel.cfg.
For the file named 'toolbars.cfg' in each skin, verify that the
history section is as shown below.

Yes, it works!
Thank you, James!
Did You already send Your alteration to Dorian?
Also:
Any skin.
Has IMHO to be Your version no matter whether the other changes are accepted.
Reason: "View History. Right-click for more options." is in the kmeleon.kml.
It only autotranslates into the other languages if exactly this phrase is used.
Else the new string's "View History." translation has to be added to the kml and 150 odd old skins need to be updated to this extra change.
p.s. The same for the browser configuration button.
Browser Con&figuration{
Compact Menu New
&Tools
The red phrase is already defined in the current kmeleon.kml.
The currently used blue phrase is not defined and thus does not translate.

No, I have not yet sent this to Dorian.
I thought the string existed. What was there before change was only 'View History.'.
I don't think that I used the word 'tools' in any form for history. Am I missing some point? I can change things if required.
If Dorian decides to use this, I am sure he will see to correct matches in kml file.
No, You did it perfectly when You checked whether Your change existed in the kml. Plus it was there and for the history item. I did it the same way as You, when I unified and updated some old skins in 2007. Take existing strings from the main kml (if that has the texts You need) that way You need not extra kml.
Dorian did not check whether the strings are in the kml. Neither did he add them before we translated. Remember when he started 74, he did not know who was still here. disrupted and I created the last skins on the basis of kko's skins and even older sources. Dorian could not know all the small print. And now when some are still here he doesn't have too anymore.
I already contemplated to report both as minor bugs. With the fix You chose and suggesting to re-use &Tools. That is a string from a normal menue item, but it can be re-used to make the changed text in the skins autostranslate. But I forgot before I got around to it. Senior momemnts.
The button is near the end of toolbars.cfg. In Dorian's new compact skin, it is line 457 ff.

The missing "options" was obviously a bug. Not sure why you removed the kmm though.
There were four items in the kmm file. Of the two macros, a setaccel statement, and a menu item only one macro was used, the setaccel was a duplicate, and the history item from the setmenu into TOOLS did not seem to be a correct location. It may be just because I use the menus and buttons, rather than skin without.
I thought moving the remaining macro to main.kmm would mean fewer things to keep maintained.
I would not suggest this as meeting everyone's requirements. I was just sharing my personal choice.
