Digitizing through volume keys on Android devices - Adding points

Open Ipickedausername opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hello,

Another great feature ! Thank you. Referred to this : https://github.com/opengisch/QField/pull/4594

I was wondering if it might be possible to allow the use of these volume keys to repeat a point to the current location ?

The last entered values (if there are) will be repeated at a new location. It would work as a duplicate button, very fast to use.

A few years ago, we were using GPS and we were using a similar feature. We save the values that we want to geotag and then press a button to repeat. Everyone was, somehow, disappointed to switch to smartphone because it became slower.

The CheckBox is already a fast way to repeat information, but this would be the fastest way possible.

I think it could work this way :

  • button would add the last entered value (only work for point layers I guess)
  • button would delete the last entered value (maybe only the value that have been added with the + button, to avoid unwanted deletions).

What do you think ?

Thanks !

Actually, it would even be nicer if we can configure "+" and "-" buttons for a specific behavior, example:

Zoom / Unzoom Duplicate last feature / Delete last feature Move up / Down (in the list of the layers)

etc.
