In the spirit of the name of this thread, I've got a tiny suggestion for a change which could improve the experience of 'novice' users of Sigil.
It concerns the Clips Help.
When you right-click in Code View, the first item you see in the drop-down is Clips which when highlighted exposes three options. The first is Clips Help. I know several users who've clicked on clips help only to find that the help message gets printed into code view. Some haven't noticed that until they read through their edits later.
Most computer users expect that clicking on a help item will open a dialog box. They don't expect the help section to get printed into their working document.
The same happens if you click rather than hover on help in the Clips View.
My workaround is simply to delete the help text in the Clips Editor but this prevents the help from showing when hovering on clips help in the Clips View. That's no loss once you know what clips are about but a shame for new users of Sigil.
Is there a way to keep the hover help but stop it from printing in Code View?
