I like to use mapping software on desktops or laptops for route planning and amenity searches. (Offline datasets with OSM Scout are amazing!) Here are a few things I think would improve overall usability on the desktop. Feel free to edit this list as desired.
[ ] Keyboard support, like #405, but with more keys
[ ] Context / right-click menu for points. This should probably expose the same options as the Long Press, but with a context menu instead.
[ ] Display coordinates of the clicked location and offer to copy them?
[ ] Bookmark manipulation
[ ] Ability to copy-to-clipboard the following, on whatever screen they might be found: coordinates, plus codes, and addresses. Maybe they could be rendered hyperlink-style?
[ ] Bookmarks
[ ] The circled X icon ("⮿") normally dismisses the "bottom drawer" point information popup… but if you have a bookmark selected, it deletes the bookmark. Adding a bookmark takes a lot of clicking, so it should definitely be harder to delete them than that.
[ ] Name bookmarks immediately upon creation?
[ ] Bookmark import / export?
[ ] Assign an action to middle-click or middle click-drag? (Maybe "re-center" and/or "re-orient?")
[ ] Combine the "bottom drawer" and the "right-side drawer" by eliminating the "🟆" menu for clicked points. The right drawer has all the information and actions that the bottom drawer does, so these elements are perhaps redundant.
[ ] Ability to perform an amenity search using the current map viewport, rather than just the current location. Non-GPS devices don't always have location. Maybe this should be the default option, or at least very easy to choose—a viewport is often used as an implicit, "I want to search here." It is very easy to center the map at your current location.
Some of these items should probably be split out into their own issues. I'm not a UI developer or designer, and not all of these things are necessarily good ideas.
