Home Screen (long-press) Shortcuts #1765

Open meichthys opened 2 years ago

meichthys commented 2 years ago

It would be nice to be able to long-press (or force-touch) the nextcloud app icon to access a shortcut menu. Most native apple apps use this. Some shortcuts that I think would be useful are:

The current shortcut menu looks like: image

For reference, other apps look like: image

@meichthys Thanks! I really like the idea and generally the deep integration into iOS. Similar, we could think about integrating (Siri-)Indents and widgets etc. But imo this is a great start.. 🎉 @tobiasKaminsky any thoughts..?

What entries do you want to have there? We had similar idea on Android, but found out that there are no real use cases. E.g. "upload file" is usually (at least on Android) done the other way around: I have a file e.g. in WhatsApp and then share it to NC.

@tobiasKaminsky I know it's not a core feature, but it's easy enough to implement and imo it can be really helpful for pro-users. I do like the suggestions mentioned in the issue (tho the scanner is not available pre iOS 13), plus maybe "Activity" and "Create text document"..

I think that very few use this feature but attention is not simple because you have to check many things for it to work well for example how happen if you have already open the view of select a video/photo before you go in background ? and more other things

For me the most useful would be able to scan a document. The next cloud app has an excellent document scanning function that cannot be triggered from an external file app.

@dennore What you are looking for is #662 Let's keep this issue strictly related to the long-press options.
