[Feature]: Actual Navigation with Touch Screen #4189

Open tdadvocate opened 1 month ago

tdadvocate commented 1 month ago

Feature description

The touch screen navigation is terrible and almost as completely counterintuitive as possible. There should be a quick navigation bar at the top of the display to more easily open the sessions window as well as the "more" window. All it takes is shrinking the overall terminal window by a couple percent and then users can actually tell that there is a way to open more than one session, kill the session, heck even just get help on how to use the application. Had I not accidentally found the sessions window because I tried to back swipe hoping it would kill my session, I wouldn't have even known that it existed. This app seems really useful, but due to the app being nearly impossible to navigate without way too much time reading a wiki, it has immediately become useless to me.

Additional information

Pretty much every terminal client has an easy and obvious navigation system that requires no external interaction or learning curve. Qute and Terminus are 2 great examples of how quick and easy it is to start, edit, switch between, and close sessions as well as all their other navigation features. Terminus even has a tab system for tablets which adds to the user experience.
