It would be nice to have an two extra panels dedicated to our favourite editors(vi and emacs): shift+; shift+1 alt+x ctrl+x ctrl+u ctrl+d ctrl+l ctrl+m ctrl+n ctrl+p ctrl+a ctrl+e ctrl+alt ctrl+esc Rather than panels, how about a small area within the keyboard panel itself that we swipe left/right and it shows us the different different panels thus preserving the console display real estate. Some mouse trackpads use one touch and drag up/down for the cursor up/down for command-line history. That's intuitive with what the terminal is doing now. The touch and drag left/right for the cursor left/right is also intuitive. SUGGESTION: two finger touch and drag up/down would scroll the terminal up/down similar to Dell Latitude 2120 mouse touch track pads. Currently touch and hold brings up the ctrl circle which is inefficient because we shouldn't have to wait a second when some coders/gamers could potentially plunk in 18+ characters in that chunk of time. It takes too much time to work with. It would be best to have panels dedicated to the different editors(vi/emacs) to save time and not add to it by waiting a second for every ctrl combination input. WARNING OFF TOPIC: We shouldn't have to wait for anything anywhere. The applet load up time right now is roughly 4-5 seconds. I launch the dialer and twiddle my thumbs for 5 seconds. I launch the browser and thumb-twiddle again. Ditto for the sms messaging. When you're in a hurry, it's annoying. I hope that part will be dealt with shortly. > > Regards, > Nathan > -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
