Un-intuitive design #3424

The main panel has clear tab windows which show Patients and Doctors. However the tab panels are not clickable and are can only be toggled by using the command toggle.

This is a feature flaw as intuitively if we have such GUI like a menu bar, it would only be logical that clicking on the tab will allows us to move the the selected tab.

Team's Response

The intention is to make the programme optimized for CLI. Should a user want to switch tabs, they typically are going to execute commands through the CLI. Also, the user might toggle to the tab just to view the information but accidentally enter commands meant for the wrong tab. Having the user explicitly toggle with the CLI helps them be more aware of the tab that is active. As the menu bar contains information that navigates outside of the app, having interactable elements does not hamper the user's CLI experience.
