Feature request: erase gesture like on the Supernote #395

Open Ivan2s opened 2 years ago

Ivan2s commented 2 years ago

Hi,

just suggesting to introduce an erase gesture like on Supernote A5 or A5X: 2 fingers on the screen activate area selection and subsequent erasing of the strokes inside.

I think this might be quite useful, especially for those using rM marker only.

Could also be just selection - even more flexible. Then the user decides to copy, cut or do nothing.

Is it really something usefull if we have "swipe left undo" function? I would prefer to add possibility to activate erase menu if long press with eraser on Merker Plus. Or simply add permanent Eraser icon on side menu.

What I really love about ddvk is of course the gestures. You don't think about the menu and your mind is focused on the contents. The left swipe is useful but it applies to the last actions. Why not be flexible? The second thing is that this gesture is something that one has to learn do "properly" not to turn pages. Remarkable is good at identifying "touches", so, I thought this could work really nice. After all, lasso activation can be triggered with 2 finger touch. It's just an idea, and if ddvk finds it easy to implement, this would be nice.

@3eefc4ke @Ivan2s I have to say that I gave the gestures on undo and redo a chance, but they feel so unreliable. Sometimes not reacting at all that I started to use the buttons instead. swiping down, changing pages etc. works so much better than undo and redo gestures for me.

@Ivan2s @martin-braun Got it, thanks for your comments. Possibly this is something more for RM2 Dev team as feature request but indeed heaving this would be usefull. I will add that I really love those swipes for Undo/Redo as they, as one of you mentioned, help tp focus and reduce need to go to menu. On the other hand I would like to have more at the hand tools in the menu when its visible (Eraser, 2nd writing tool).
