I thought so. Would be good to split the commit in future, but that makes sense 🙂 |

Problem
If a user wants to install their current mod list on another computer or share it with friends, they might click File → Save installed mod list... to generate a text file with their list of mods. However, there is no way to use this file to install that same mod list somewhere else. (It's mainly useful for posting your mod list to the forum.)
Thanks to Discord user SpaceTrash67 for bringing this up.
Cause
It's not easy to tell the difference between the menu options:
In the given use case, the user would have to try to guess and maybe experiment with these options to learn what they do.
Changes
Now the English versions of these menu options have a parenthetical clarification explaining whether the files they create can be re-imported, similar to what we did in #3400:
Other locales would have to be updated subsequently by their individual translators.
I also added hotkeys to the menus and made the existing hotkeys more consistent; i should really install rather than import, since the latter is much less commonly used.
