Tired from scrolling #24195

Open Aquind opened 1 year ago

Aquind commented 1 year ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

The app design requires so much scrolling. It would be great if more settings could be fit in a smaller area.

Scenario when this would be used?

Daily use of product. This would be especially helpful for those with physical disabilities where scrolling is more work because of limited movement of fingers. (especially those working in the IT field with disabilities)

Supporting information

Anyone that has used control panels with compact views versus more 'pretty' views can understand this. One may be pleased with the novelty of pretty interfaces, but when software teams confuse design as being something pretty instead of efficient functionality we get many of the awkward trends of the past 5-10 years. There is a way to balance the newer clean design of Microsoft Software with the functionality of the past and it lies somewhere in the middle. Thank you for your time and efforts.

Especially since users of PowerToys are likely more used to working with data and various information systems; they should be able to handle more information on one screen. Power users are your target audience, why not give them a power interface?

It is the PowerToy app itself that requires too much scrolling. Instead of fitting the settings in one or a few windows the UI is designed in a way that requires a lot of scrolling. For someone with hand injuries or disabilities this is almost unusable.

It would help if Power Toys didn't have custom scroll bars that don't work with normal trackpad scrolling and scroll wheel scrolling that work everywhere else in Windows
