Enhance appearance of controls with hidden contextual menus #1291

Open dnutan opened 4 years ago

dnutan commented 4 years ago

Tested on v0.5.21 Priority: Low A possible usability enhancement could be to put some visual indicator (arrow, dots...) on controls that have "hidden" options. More user-friendly than going control by control testing if there are more options.

how would you like them to be displayed? examples welcome...

dnutan commented 10 months ago

A split button could suffice. Example taken from bootstrap: image

si458 commented 10 months ago

@dnutan if u can make a split button WITHOUT any frameworks or bootstrap (so just css and html) plz let us know and i can look at that option!

Will speak with @Ylianst first to make sure it doesn't change the style of anything

si458 commented 10 months ago

what about something like this? clicking still does left click, but it gives u a hint to right click it? image

Much better.

All the hidden things behind right-clicks should be visually exposed somehow.
