[Feature Request] "Mark video as watched" shortcut #557

Open ThatIsAPseudo opened 3 years ago

ThatIsAPseudo commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a usage problem (not a bug)? Please describe. For the moment we currently need to use the 3-dots menu below a video in order to mark it as watched. That's 2 click on small buttons, so that is not efficient when you need to mark a bunch of video.

Describe the solution you'd like to see implemented It'd be quicker to do it with a button below the thumbnail, or even better with a shortcut (e.g. ALT + LeftClick), so that you just have to click on the thumbnail in the grid/list view.

Describe alternatives you've considered Here is a user script that does that on the Youtube web version (uses a shortcut) : https://greasyfork.org/scripts/30261-mark-watched-youtube-videos/

Thanks for the input. As summarized in #539, adding more navigation and controls via keyboard is definitely on our watch.

So anyone who wants to add more controls and create a PR is welcomed to do so.

Hi, I know this is an old issue but I'd like to give an input on this.

I don't think this feature should be so prominent, as it could be easily activated by mistake, especially if it is a button in the video listing. I also think adding a button would clutter the interface and many people wouldn't even use it.

Please keep in mind that playlists and favourites will be used to save videos to watch later, once these are implemented !

You definitely have a point here. Maybe something along adding a 'mark as watched' mode could be implemented where you simply click on videos and instead of going to the video, it just adds them to the watch history. This would make accidents less likely to occur

@GilgusMaximus After thinking for a bit, I think a button could be added next to the current "favourite" button, if people really need that.

I'm not too sure about the usefulness of this once playlists and favourites will be implemented, though ? :thinking:

I also think that a fast way to change status between whatched or unwhatched would be very useful. When a video is already whatched, a good way to change that status could be touching the WHATCHED label. On the other hand, in unwhatched videos would be nice a mark to toggle the whatched status. Maybe a little circle button like the ones in thunderbird for emails, in the same space WHATCHED label appears.

I know this is an old request, but for me this is a huge deal. I currently use the PocketTube extension specifically for this feature, where they expose a "mark as watched" button on the video. The extra click is pretty annoying. What you suggest here is the perfect solution. Also, hiding the video right away would be preferred instead of just leaving it there marked as watched.

Thanks for your work on this app!
