Proposing to reword "mirror" to "flip" except when referring to the mirror tool

[Alvin Wong]

Hi all,

Currently we refer to the actions for flipping layers / objects / the 
image / the view as "mirror". This can be confusing considering we also 
have the mirror tools which actually mirror brush strokes like a mirror.

I propose we reword these actions to use the word "flip" to remove this 
ambiguity. I did some quick searches and it seems many graphics 
applications (including GIMP, PS, CSP, Inkscape, Paint .NET) also use 
"flip" to describe these actions, so this also appears to be the more 
common terminology.

There is a catch though, the "Mirror View" action has the default hotkey 
"M", if we rename it to "Flip View" then this hotkey becomes detached 
from the name of the action (although this is already the case in some 
languages). I am not sure how acceptable this is.

What do you think about this?

Cheers,
Alvin
