Will the browser bookmark gui get a "copy/paste url" pulley toolgrid, toolbar or text menu item?

What is the typical (or otherwise defined) limit to the number of items present in a pulley menu?

If icons would display in pulley menus then left and right dragging in the activated pulley menu context could become meaningful. The upshot in this use case is that commonly handy OS utilities like copy, paste and screenshot could be made quickly available exactly as and when they are needed.

Please consider this class of pulley feature for a future upgrade.

Following up from comments, the Clear clipboard non-pulley clipboard GUI is less intuitive than it would be as a pulley icon. In a pulley menu, the clipboard functions could be split as five icons on the same horizontal line. For text, pulling (swiping) down and left or down and right would highlight and allow selection of one of 'clear', 'cut', 'copy', 'paste' and 'history'. The context menu item:- text, link, labelled bookmark, image, file, media object - would be defined by the position of the user's first touch. This would work in both landscape and portrait orientations.

The current copy-paste implementation is outside the pulley context:

menu with icons and text items for more and different actions

Current pulley menu example

The pulley menu ought to have items in it like the browser navigation interface does, like "clipboard" icons or "download page as text/html to local device".

Navigation GUI in browser


The non-pulley clipboard GUI is less intuitive than it would be as a pulley icon. In a pulley menu, the clipboard functions could be split as five icons on the same horizontal line. For text, pulling (swiping) down and left or down and right would highlight and allow selection of one of 'clear', 'cut', 'copy', 'paste' and 'history'. The context - text, link, labelled bookmark, image, file, media object - would be defined by the position of the user's first touch. This would work in both landscape and portrait orientations.

The current copy-paste implementation is outside the pulley context:

The Clear clipboard context menu item

...and the subsequently cleared clipboard:

No Clipboard (paste) icon

A zombie clipboard typo sometimes returns (e.g. in the context of a new tab):

Zombie javascript typo that keeps coming back

A zombie clipboard typo sometimes returns (e.g. in the context of a new tab):

Zombie javascript typo that keeps coming back

Indeed, the clipboard feature does appear to work in new tabs when the clipboard starts empty. In that case (as described elsewhere), a long tap on the active web address highlights the text, and copies the address to the Clipboard. An example of what to expect:

The expected Clipboard behaviour

The graphic nature of the side theme changer interface (in this example limited to portrait orientation only) gives hope that this suggestion is possible:

Swipe from outside screen area from left

The related QML seems to be in AmbienceGridPage.qml. Next, the icon items need identification.

There's a different kind of swiping icon on some thumbnailed apps, like the browser, in whose case users can reload the active tab or open a new tab, depending where they swipe from on the thumbnail and whether they swipe to the left or right.

The interaction in the last screenshot's context differs as image/theme selection is not available until all the theme window covers the screen. This is not the same for icons in pulley menus where part of the menu can remain hidden, so this probably affects what text to put in the QML.
