Easier controls around sailing mode

Open ejstrates opened this issue 6 months ago • 1 comments

I find managing sailing mode frustrating. typically, I'd like to operate at 70% with 10% sailing most of the time, occasionally top up to 70%, and rarely top up to 100%. I find the controls around sailing mode frustrating to top up to my normal 70%; what I end up doing is manually changing the Limit to 80%, but I also find this frustrating. as a result of my frustration, I have disabled sailing mode.

I think there are couple features that should be considered: "Top Up to Limit" button Sailing mode enable/disable button

Additional context My computer was a significant investment, so of course I would like to maintain the battery as long as possible. There is a lot of flexibility built into the app, but I think identifying the major use-cases could improve the UI/UX around those. I would personally use both the percentage settings of the and sailing percent setting as one-time set-and-forget configuration, rather than making the limit percentage controllable from the menu-bar; and then make common actions (such as "Top Up") available as buttons in the menu-bar.
