Quoting "Hans-Christoph Steiner" <hans at at.or.at>:

hmm, sorry to chime in, but shouln't the above example be either
"x1: Walk the dog"
or
"Walk the dog"?

no problems with or without prefixes here...

sure.

one other thought:
i haven't looked at the plugin so forgive my ignorance: but if i have  
a tab for each prefix, i don't see a compelling reason why you would  
want to display the prefix _at all_ (i thought "x1" would be the name  
of the tab; no reason the repeat it again and again)
