using a gesture like a swipe to one of the corners to reveal the Frame
will that be the same behavior as with the hot corners or as with the dedicated key?

Introduce Frame

The Frame is one of the components of the Shell that is not discoverable that easy, we might want to do an animation to help that.

Additions to the Frame

Frame Clock

Keyboard Action

discoverable, consistent, lazy-programmer keyboard shortcuts

Touchscreen

[CSA: adding here some issues which aren't in the above table, not sure how they fit in]

Keyboard hints: show different keyboards for numeric, URL, or free-text input. (For example, TurtleArt wouldn't show the full keyboard when it just needs you to enter a number.)
Hover palettes: might need to be offset more from finger location to be useable on touchscreen (so that the finger doesn't cover up the palette when it pops up)
Drag to scroll: I prototyped this with "drag from top" / "drag from bottom" to scroll, it wasn't so bad. Simply mapping two-finger scroll to mouse scroll buttons gets you pretty far, although there are some focus issues to deal with -- it should first focus the element under the scroll start location, and *then* send it mouse scroll wheel events
Slide to switch zoom levels: just requires binding F12,F13 etc to "zoom out" and "zoom in", so olpc-kbdshim can emit the proper function key instead of trying to remember what zoom level it is in.
Uniform support for "mouseover" events: perhaps "swiping down" from a button will reveal its mouseover tool tips, for example. This is a bit of a hack, but it might make all the existing sugar activities which rely on mouseover more usable.
