I agree. I also don't think you need to bother with that.
It's much more important to add really useful features.
Better code libraries (header translations), other refactorings.
Lazarus works well, I know where everything is located,
I assume most people that work with it also know it.
The ability to change this adds little to no value to the IDE.
Michael.
