Hi Tanish,

these are my options:

Must have:

     edit_copy: Copy selected text.
     edit_cut: Cut selected text.
     edit_paste: Paste text from clipboard.
     edit_select_all: Select all text in the current field/view.
     file_close: Close the current translation tab.
     file_revert: Discard unsaved changes in current file and reload 
saved version.
     file_new: Create a new file.
     alttrans_attach: Attach an external file as an alternate 
translation source.
     go_back: Go to previous location in navigation history.
     go_forward: Go to next location in navigation history.
     go_goto: Jump to a specific location/entry.
     go_goto_line: Jump to a specific line.
     go_home: Jump to home/start location.


Nice to have:

     edit_deselect: Clear current selection.
     file_close_all: Close all open translation tabs.
     file_save_all: Save all open files.
     file_revert_all: Revert all open files to their last saved state.
     go_document_back: Go to previous document in document history.
     go_document_forward: Go to next document in document history.
     go_up: Move one level up.


Not useful for my workflow:

     bookmark_edit: Edit/manage bookmarks.
     odf2xliff: Convert OpenDocument content to XLIFF for translation.
     file_print: Print current file.
     file_print_preview: Show print preview.
     file_mail: Send current file/content by email.


Missing action(s) you want:

     Editing a po file: Action to copy directly all text from the 
current source message to clipboard (with a shortcut)
     Editing a po file: Action to copy directly all text from the 
current target message to clipboard (with a shortcut)

Just a comment about odf2xliff. Maybe this option is only useful for 
people not in this mailing list, so I would recommend some caution 
before removing this feature.

Best regards,

Josep M. Ferrer
