Revision history [back]

Using Messages app i'm always pleased with its clean design, its usability, but at the same time I miss some truly useful features like inserting photos, videos, recording ecc. in my messages, especially when using some chat protocol like xmpp or Facebook (that's still xmpp I think).

Without mitakuuluu around lately, the situation has become even worse.

So I was thinking: adding feature to receive that kind of data without breaking the "flow" doesn't seem too difficult, the issue comes with inserting. But I love how pasting works in Sailfish OS.

It's so simple, if you have copied something, a paste icon magically appears in the first row of your virtual keyboard. It's like a contextually activated feature. Why not to develop this kind of behaviour? Imagine: if I'm writing, first row suggests me words to put in, if I'm not, it suggest me to put in something else. In a message this "something else" could be a photo, a recording and so on (provided that you are using some protocol supporting it), in another application it could be even more.

In this way we can have a keyboard capable of inserting not only text, but contents, sharing design between different kind of apps, without stretching our fingers to the edge of the screen, in a simple, dynamical, elegant and "Jollaish" way.
