Arrange panels for left handers

Open StefPillaert opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

All things below are more of a wish list (or probably me overseeing a few things?)

I use IPE a lot with a pen on a HP with pen-tablet-X360 functionality (Windows 10). But I'm "a lefty", and this way it would be easier to have the palettes more on the right side and the bottom side, so I can use my right finger to "push the buttons" while drawing with my left hand using the stylus. Same goes for the "properties" part of the GUI.

  • But maybe this is allready possible, and I'm missing something? I seem to be able to shuffle a bit with the location and the size of the top horizontal palettes, but somehow I don't manage to move all of them as much to the right as possible?

  • No idea if I can change them in e.g. vertical palettes instead of horizontal ones? Or even "horizontal-at-the bottom-of-the-screen", why not?

  • Oh, and I miss a "save" button while drawing on the tablet, without a keyboard at hand to type "ctrl-S" ;-) Same as a "paste-at-cursor-position" (= ctrl-V).

There used to be an optional "tablet" part of the edit menu with a save button, but this seems to have gotten lost because I didn't have a suitable icon and there was no more demand for the tablet-functionality in Ipe.

"Paste at Cursor" is on the context menu.

I'll have to look at what options I can set in Windows to make the toolbars more right aligned...

Thanks for this! (In the meantime, I’ll keep on explaining people the meaning of those strange symbols on the back of my Ipe-T-shirt 😉) Stef
