[Usability enhancement] Move Editor.'s pulley and "Quick menu" to the screen top

Open Olf0 opened this issue 8 years ago • 0 comments

Editor.'s "UI 2.0" (with its first appearance in v0.8) is definitely an enhancement WRT usability and aesthetics.

[Issue description] But putting Editor.'s pulley and "Quick menu" to the screen bottom causes ...

  • ... these two elements to hover up and down along with the vKeyboard.
  • ... accidental keystrokes, when trying to pull up the pulley menu while the vKeyboard is up (i.e. active / visible).
  • ... the large vertical space below the "Settings" entry in the pulley menu to be much more annoying.

See screenshot_editor -0 8_vkeyboard and screenshot_editor -0 8_bottom-pulley-above-vkeyboard

[Suggested solution] Move Editor.'s pulley and "Quick menu" to the screen top. This prevents aforementioned issues and creates a more usual screen layout, with quick access functions and pulley on the top.

Tested with Editor. v0.8 on a Jolla 1 phone under SailfishOS 2.1.0.11
