Summary: The iOS Simulator Edit menu commands Get Pasteboard and Send Pasteboard are not clearly named. Is the Simulator getting the Mac pasteboard, or is the Mac setting the Simulator pasteboard? I can never remember which is which. They could be interpreted either way depending on the user’s mental model. This would be a great example for a UX textbook of a pitfall to avoid. Steps to Reproduce: Try to move things between the Mac and Simulator pasteboard. Expected Results: The menu commands would have clear names like Send Mac Pasteboard to iOS Pasteboard. Actual Results: The user has to experiment to reverse engineer the mental model of the author of this text. Version: 10.1 (10B61) Notes:
