Dams Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Hello, I am often confused when I try to use alternative actions. Right now, at the bottom of the window, you have a description of what you can do with all keystroke like click + shift will do this or click + alt + shift will do that. To make things clearer, there could be a visual feedback (highlighting, surrounding, etc...) of the result you will get while pressing a button. Like as soon as I press Shift in the following screenshot, it will be benefical to see "Add to selection" highlighted so I know the result I will have on a click instead of going throw the list and trying to understand which one is active currently. I saw that sometime the action change based on the key you press but not all the time and not for all actions (like dragging). Also sometime the cursor change, but highlighting the description in the bar would still help understanding the action :) It's pretty obvious in this screenshot as there is only two possibilites, but it becomes more difficult with tools like the pen with all this draging + option.

Matthias Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yeah, sounds like an easy and clever thing to do. Plus it does not add any visual noise as long as no modifier key is pressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
