suggestion: one handed zoom gesture in browser, gallery, etc
asked 2013-12-25 22:33:40 +0300
Since sailfish ui uses taps to show / hide controls in maps and gallery etc , one finger zoom gesture would be ideal. Heres an idea: hold finger down, zoom up/down arrows show up and sliding your finger up or down change the zoom speed analogically. The point where longpress started, determines the point to zoom at.
NOTE: Throw your votes over there, so mods can delete this dup if desired: https://together.jolla.com/question/9248/zoom-with-1-finger-1-hand-to-hold-and-do-the-gesture/
What would then be the action to move the map?

MartinK ( 2013-12-26 04:14:17 +0300 )editThat's somehow funny. Everybody wants to have a capacitive Screen because of multi-touch. Now resistive screens are history and people asking for one hand gestures and nobody want to use multi-touch. I have never missed multi-touch but I miss my precise stylus, which is nicely integrated in my N900.
