Talk:Design Team/Sugar Shell Touch Input

Touch things to fix and keep an eye on
This is a rough brain dump of things to watch out for, will move this out onto other pages where appropriate:


 * Test UI at lower resolution
 * Portrait will be used more than it currently once we have touch only HW
 * Need to minimise toolbar overflows and improve touch experience when it does happen
 * Palette behaviours
 * Hover/right click
 * Clarify any primary button actions
 * Keyboard shortcut usage
 * Need any replacements using extra buttons/gestures?
 * Screen display backlight brightness/monochrome behaviour - probably best resolved with a brightness/display device icon & palette as per the volume device
 * Hiding keyboard accelerator hints when booting touch only hardware?
 * Right click
 * Touch and hold gesture
 * Prelight effects are usually for reinforcing UI interaction during a cursor movement/hover. For touch, should it be used to indicate a widget is being held down, or remove prelight effect?
 * Hover hints/tips
 * Double tap interaction
 * Make much more accommodating to second tap inaccuracy
 * Tune cursor touch point to just below top edge of contact point (based on screen rotation)
 * Maximise home view icon size layout
 * Widget size usability
 * Button spacing
 * Palette menu spacing
 * Size of hspan/vspan separator, gtk3 default looking a little better, GtkPaned
 * Check boxes to on/off slider GtkSwitch
 * 8-10mm diameter hit targets
 * Up/down menu overflow scroll widgets too short
 * Remove primary action from Neighbourhood view AP/ad-hoc widgets
 * Double tap tuning to allow for errors in 2nd tap positioning
 * Canvas drag scrolling
 * XO 1.75 hard edge bezel?
 * Screen rotation much more common/frequent on tablet format HW
 * Landscape
 * Portrait
 * Better for long form reading/writing
 * Better use of space with on screen keyboard
 * Text selection touch features
 * Touch friendly handles for adjusting selection
 * Drag scrolling vs. text selection interaction
 * Double tap and drag to initiate selection?
 * Touch and hold, then drag to initiate selection?
 * New pop-up palette?
 * Cut/copy/paste
 * Speak
 * Share with friend (would require a clipboard clipping share enhancement)
