[Enhancement] "Back" key (not menu) also to get from entry list to feed list #510

Open hagen5 opened 5 years ago

hagen5 commented 5 years ago

Tapping the "Back" softkey (to the right of the "Home" key, on Android phones) brings one from the full text to the list of entries for the feed; this is as expected. But the next tap on the "Back" key then does not bring one to the list of feeds but instead closes the window, which is unexpected (at least I keep falling into this "trap"). To get back to the list of feeds the "Hamburger" menu must apparently be used, which is inconvenient (as it is positioned diametrically opposed to the back key).

I would thus prefer the sequence for "Back" key taps to follow the "logical hierarchy" thus: full text → list of entries for feed → list of feeds → close window

Alternatively, another icon could be placed at the bottom, as suggested in Issue #507.

Cheers!

Agreed, this would be very practical!

This feature would also be useful for those of us who use gesture navigation. Side menus are hard to access reliably with gesture navigation. Like hagen5 I am always falling in the "trap" of inadvertantly closing the app while intending to access the feed menu--even after months of using the app.

It would be much easier and more intuitive to perform the back gesture one more time rather than having to fumble with getting the side menu to open.
