Usability comments

Open jasongrout opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

Here are some random usability comments from playing with things:

  • [ ] On OSX, pressing cmd-space multiple times toggles on and off the spotlight search. In the demo, alt-space opens the command palette, but pressing alt-space again does not toggle it off. I kind of like the toggling behavior.
  • [ ] alt-space <type command> <enter to run command and close palette> <alt-space> shows the old command still selected and the typed text still in the box. Deactivating the command palette should probably clear the search text.
  • [ ] Clicking the command sidebar does not focus the command search box. Should it?

Good observations, will note as we're updating and modifying behaviors! The command palette shortcut will likely change.

Deactivating the command palette should probably clear the search text.

We are intentionally leaving it in the state it was based on similar palette behaviors. For example, the Sublime Text palette keeps your last selection. On the other hand, Atom doesn't. It'll be good to get some broader feedback.

Clicking the command sidebar does not focus the command search box. Should it?

Yes.

Cloud 9 maintains the selection on palette close, but VSCode clears it.
