User Consult - UI - Menu structure and user-definable menu launch keys #11

Open kaisersozeh opened 6 years ago

kaisersozeh commented 6 years ago

As part of wider consultation on the Wiiflow UI - propositions and questions may include -

User definable menu launch keys - "homekey" menu - options menus - source_menu
Where should functions appear in the UI?
- to make it useable, intuitive and understandable from the first boot
- to offer flexibility to the needs of the advanced user

I like the idea of hotkeys, and that shouldn't be too hard.

Regarding improving the UI, I think starting with a list of the problems is best then work backwards from there. That way we always know each change resolves a specific usability problem rather than being arbitrary.

As an example (not saying this is necessarily a big problem, just an example):

Problem: Users are confused at first launch because buttons are hidden. Proposal: default to always showing them.

It's more broadly about the whole menu and settings structure, how it meshes with the "folder" structure of the UI - needs user consultation Precisely where you find menu's and how you invoke them
