Well reading it twice I realize that with my explanation might make small sense if you are not inside my brain hehehe... I didnt update yet to latest version so maybe im saying something outdated, but the point I was trying to make is:
New users, when experimenting with Leo, will basically use the buttons they use in Office/Openoffice, since those are the most widely available data edition tools (Control copy, paste, cut, arrows, enter, delete, etc). Therefore, with the suggested brainstorm, the aim would be to check if the actions done with those buttons will match the expectations to someone coming from those enviroiments, which is, mostly anyone. One of the things that come to mind is the unavailability of cut/paste when several nodes are selected in Qt. Another, when using control+arrows, I would expect for outlines to move up or down. The point being, arrows are more useful and intuitive for people than "u, d, l, r". But those are two little examples, and the brainstorm is aimed to consider that big combination of actions into the main default keys and the intuitive functions they should do, and the cut/copy/paste were examples of a few questions that brainstorm should ask. When I sit down to create a new script, I often do a brainstorm, and write on paper the answers to most of the questions I can think of, and that is how I manage to avoid problems that otherwise would come after much experience and time invested. So that is the way I would 'close' the making-Leo-intuitive phase. Also, asking those basic questions to oneself can allow to see further than the fact of being naturally adapted to Leo allows us to see, same as happened when you was making the video and changed those, but reaching wider because of the question combination etc =) Seeing examples of how others fixed those kind of problems in similar software was also aiming for that. By all this I also mean that sometimes we dont consider a solution unless we see it performing well, and those two activities usually help me big time to do that. Anyway, still dont know if Im making a useful point or its nonsense, if you felt there is nothing to extract from these words you might as well drop it, some times its just too confusing or difficult to rationalize those kind of feelings into practical and useful concepts! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
