Change input interaction with list items #19

Can long pressing on list item just go straight to editing my list entry? Right now it opens a popup with some of the info for editing, but not all of it. Honestly, the popup seems like it just causes me another input to get to edit the info I actually want to edit. The full editing page has all the info clearly laid out and easy to see just like the popup, with the added benefit of having all the info and controls.

Use case: I usually do this when I have read several chapters and need to increment the read count by like 10 but don't want to press "+" 10 times.

In AL-Chan, tapping the left side with the image for the media open the media page. Tapping the right side with the list info opens the list entry editor. Long pressing the right side opens something similar to your edit popup. I like being able to get to the media page or edit page in a single tap. Long pressing is slower and I tend to accidentally move my finger during a long press so the phone interprets it as a swipe instead (I know, personal problem).

Long pressing on the list item bring up this "edit popup". Screenshot_20240508-150724

Tapping the "edit entry" button in the edit popup shows this full edit screen. Screenshot_20240508-150733

I understand the reasoning here, I think the best way to go about it would be to add an option for this rather than change the default behaviour. I want "long press -> preview entry" to be a consistent behaviour all across the app

By the way, you can batch add progress on the homepage by long-pressing + (it even creates status updates correctly)
