So here's an idea: make all fields and widgets except for sliders
require explicit focus (mouse click or tab key), on the grounds that
sliders can be inadvertently changed by click-to-focus in a way that
other controls cannot. In the case where a slider was not explicitly
focused, it only has focus while the pointer is hovering over it, and
focus returns to whatever had it before the slider when the pointer
leaves the slider. In other words, hover on a slider temporarily
steals the focus.
The idea is sound. *Any* unintended keyboard action *is* data loss. The
scenario could be different, but it can lead even to physical removing
of a photo. Why not? Assign it 0 rating or click Del to remove unneeded
digit or a letter in a control. And the confirmation dialog to Del key
may be passed through automatically. And latter remove the
*accidentally* assigned image physically.
As I understand, the desired action to be click-less is mouse scrolling
over a control. Why should it hook keyboard actions?
With respect,
