[HYC] don't sacrifice events-view global-gesture

Isn't this the exact same behaviour that can be seen in the tablet hands on videos? There is something like the event view if you swipe in from the left side.

if i don't make a mistake, it's juste like this on the home screen. when you swipe in from the left on an application, you go on the home screen . but maybe in don't see the good video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z3Tp770ups (2min05)

@blubdibub when you have an app open, swiping from left or right takes you to multitasking view and you have to swipe in from the left to see the events view. What @kayoux meant was to have the swipe from left to always take you to events view and swiping from right would take you to the multitasking view.

However the idea was to have the edge swipes both do the same action so you could use it with either left or right hand.

you both are probably right that the user has to be on the home screen to be able to swipe in the event view. I thought I saw the behaviour you wrote in your answer somewhere. But it seems like I was mistaken.

I know I had a plugin to my N9 where I could configure what swipes went where. So swipe up went home/feed, right to the multitask view and left to the application launcher. I'd love something like that to be configurable for the Jolla as well.

I think you mean the same as me in this mockup? https://twitter.com/taaeem_/status/572799516077907970 If you meant this you can link it in your answer ;)

Thanks. Yeah thats exactly what I was thinking about

L-Swipe sounds like fingers cramping already

@tortoisedoc: I get more cramp trying to reach left side of the screen with my right thumb than trying to mimic this gesture, so I personally like this gesture, even though I'd like to use it for other purposes.

@Mohjive so at that point, an option to switch left for right to show events view should cut it ?

great news!! :)

It is optional. Just enable Quick Events Access in Gestures and there you go, one global gesture to get to events view.

Did they "fix" the events view in v2? After you're done and swipe the events view away, are you returned to the application? If not, it's not nearly as fast or useful as it used to be in v1. :-/

@drcouzelis no they didn't the Events view still acts as an own window minimising the running app. I really hope that this feature will come in a future release as the current Events view is slightly better that in v1 (posting to social media would be nice to have back also, although I think used it once or twice a month - but there are people who used it a lot).

so it is not working as it should. btw the setting to go to events view globally is unusable for most left handed.

@NuklearFart: I consider it unusable for me as a right handed person, as I have a hard time reaching the other edge without loosing grip on my phone.

and the last things you write say it: its worse! btw i do not understand why they replace it with a peek. in settings peeks are to go foreward and backward

this merged peek-gesture is cool, because it simple enriches the UX, just like adding the date to peek-view would! but you are right, this does not solve the problem of having to swipe one more time when in an active app. I suggest to enhance the peek/minimize gesture. at the moment it is like this: you are in an app and want to minimize/ peek, you start peeking from the side (revealing the peek-view homescreen), if you continue moving your thumb to the middle of the screen it minimizes the app "temporary" and if you let go (in the middle of the screen, NOT just when your thumb reaches the oppoisite site!) it stays minimized on the home screen and peek-view disappears. with the new enhanced peek view with notifications shown on the left we could just extent the peek/minimizes gesture to the opposite side where the notification symbols are which would then open the full eventsview. this could then even be taken to the next level if the peek all the way from right to left (if right handed!) without lifting your finger would reveal icon notifications (on home scrren) when the finger is in the middle and when moving on to the left it would reveal/ peek into the enriched new events screen to show more info. And only if you would stop there you would be able to interact with the notifications, otherwise it would only be a richer view of the details of the notification (eg who send me an sms ect). i could imagine that it would feel great to just "peek through" all currently available infos just with one advanced gesture!

have you seen the new events-view in the demos? Weather, news, emails, calendar entries, settings-toggles and so on... now that it becomes useful it gets moved away...

No I didn't see it, was speaking of the existing event view only.

you can add control center to it. with this it becomes so much impact. btw, when u never use it you go to sms app to read it? well i open new messages always by using events view, especially when im surfing

Now if you want to just switch wifi on or use your flashlight, you have to unlock the phone to event, open the pulley, and you can trigger action .. One step more, one useless step.

@malibu1106 one step that is not even caused by this question's topic. It is caused by the settings favourites repositioning and has nothing to do with this topic.
