Now it's the question if having hotkeys makes sense. I can foresee possible confusion:
- By pressing 1, does the user expect the star rating to change, or for the selection will jump back to the first image? - If an image has focus, but not selected to be the image in the main viewer, does pressing the hotkey change the rating for the image in the main viewer, or the image that has the focus? (there is separate focus and selection because we wanted to demonstrate keyboard navigation and handling actions). - Since keyboard focus can be shifted around the interface, will the user ever be uncertain about what the hotkey will do? While I think having hotkeys for the stars is a good idea, I want to make sure it makes sense before incorporating it into the demo. I have my own thoughts on this matter, but would like to hear what others think as well. - Jonathan. --- Jonathan Hung / [email protected] <[email protected]> IDRC - Interaction Designer / Researcher Tel: (416) 977-6000 x3959 Fax: (416) 977-9844 On Fri, Oct 22, 2010 at 1:25 PM, Colin Clark <[email protected]> wrote: > The keyboard plugin does indeed support arbitrary (and configurable) key > bindings for activating elements.
