Description

With double negative I'm addressing radio boxes that have a negative description:

  • Disable X

which would in this state enable X

instead of either:

  • X
  • Enable X

Currently these aren't just inconsistent, but generally more confusing and easy to misread, especially in german loc the negative particle is often at the end of the sentence.

Steps to reproduce

  • open the settings page

Currently the options on the settings page often like to use a negative formulation like:
Disable inline URL previews by default
Which leads to user confusion (at least for me and my friends) since most other options use a positive phrase like:
Enable automatic language detection for syntax highlighting

Ideally all radio boxes should enable a function never disable and have consistent phrasing.

enable-disable

Version information

This seems to be consistent across all platforms in english and german.

related: #5476

ftr: this should be easy(ish) to fix with granular settings. All it should be is a label change and an interpreter in the various levels.

Fixes element-hq/element-web#6435

This is done through an on-the-fly inverter for the settings. All the settings changed are boolean values, so this should be more than safe to just let happen throughout the SettingsStore. Typically a change like this would be done in the individual handlers (similar to how setting names are remapped to different properties or even different storage locations on the fly), however doing that for this many settings would be a huge nightmare and involve changing *all* the layers. By putting a global "invert this" flag on the setting, we can get away with doing the inversion as the last possible step during a read (or write).

To speed up calculations of the default values, we cache all the inverted values into a lookup table similar to how we represent the defaults already. Without this, the DefaultHandler would need to iterate the setting list and invert the values, slowing things down over time. We invert the value up front so we can keep the generic inversion logic without checking the level ahead of time. It is fully intended that a default value represents the new setting name, not the legacy name.

This commit also includes a debugger for settings because it was hard to visualize what the SettingsStore was doing during development. Some added information is included as it may be helpful for when someone has a problem with their settings and we need to debug it. Typically the debugger would be run in conjunction with `mxSendRageshake`: `mxSettingsStore.debugSetting('showJoinLeaves') && mxSendRageshake('Debugging showJoinLeaves setting')`.
