M Code modification (naming steps)

Query editor suggestion: when we use power query user interface, all steps are named by multiple words with spaces by default, such as "Modified Date", which M code records as #"Modified Date". But if the steps were named without spaces by default, such as ModifiedDate, the M code would be a lot easier to read, follow or modify, since there would be no hashtags or quotes.

  • I would like to see a global switch to turn this on or off so the user has a choice.
  • I'd like the steps to use present instead of past tense. Rename Columns instead of Renamed Columns; Filter Rows instead of Filtered Rows.
  • I like this idea but would prefer to have the option to define the step format in settings. e.g. no space title case, no space camel case, underscore as separator etc. I think this would make it more appealing to a wider audience.
