I have a question about some of the gestures on openmoko. I havent
been able to get the spinning widget gesture working in the executable
binary.
We talked about defining something like the iphone flick to scroll
around lists. Which is great, but how then would you scroll around a
long piece of text in an editor and select some of that text for
copy/paste?
Maybe we could have an internal mode which is either
'navigate' or 'select' (in a similar way to how kpdf works).
The default could be navigate, but when the keyboard is
shown it would go into text select mode.
If the mode was built in as a global variable then additional
apps could be written which allow an advanced user to switch
between the modes without opening the keyboard.
Even though this may sound complicated, I think it could be
more intuitive than a sequence of taps and drags and it would
keep the default as navigate which is what people will probably
spend most of their time doing.
