Ease navigation between 'manuscript/metadata' view #1170

Open evabenitoembo opened 5 years ago

evabenitoembo commented 5 years ago

Would it be possible to implement a shortcut that allows the user to quickly navigate between both views? It is a bit counterintuitive a the moment and people are not necessarily used to switching between those 2 views. Once used to it, having a keyboard shortcut to navigate between them would be very useful.

Also, do you think it'd be ok to consider modifying the current view? Having tabs for each of the views instead of a dropdown menu for example, which may be less intuitive?

We have discussed this a lot and still have not come to a good solution.

In general I want to move to a solution where everything is done in the same context as you requested in https://github.com/substance/texture/issues/1140

Beyond that, a keyboard shortcut could be an option. A different display of that mode switch is also under discussion.
