+1 to support Matthew's comment. I'm using my laptop a lot and to avoid pain in my wrist, I'm using BT vertical mouse and the mouse battery status is important for me...
Also, Ubuntu (more specifically user interface) is getting better and better, that now my wife, son (12 years old) and my MOTHER IN LAW are using it without big problems on their laptops. And I think that for them Matthew's idea will be more understandable and welcome. At the same time to support use case for heavily tech users, I would recommend adding a config file to override the default behaviour to allow setup of specific behaviours. In this case, from my personal opinion, Ubuntu/Linux can create the unique opportunities to serve needs of average/normal and heavily tech users. Matthew, thank you once again for your willing and efforts to make Ubuntu/Linux more user friendly, and hope you will not forget about tech users with their needs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-power in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315434 Title: Mouse with no time remaining estimate showing in preference to battery being charged Status in “indicator-power” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: When my laptop battery is in a charging state, but is not fully charged, I expect it to be displayed in preference to my mouse, which has no time remaining estimate. The spec here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power says: "If anything is discharging, the menu title should represent the component (not battery, but component) that is estimated to lose power first. For example, if your notebook battery is estimated to discharge in 1 hour 47 minutes, and your wireless mouse battery is estimated to discharge in 27 minutes, the menu title should represent the mouse. " but there doesn't seem to be any guideline to what happens when a battery is being charged. I suggest the time remaining to charge a battery should be displayed in preference to the power level in a wireless mouse.
