Those are very interesting ideas/proposals. I was actually a little worried when I read about this, but as long as its just a shortcut to the most frequently used menu item provided by an indicator, I think it's ok. However... How do we guarantee that this will be consistent between indicators? If it's only available for system indicators, then I think that creates an inconsistency itself. But if it's also available to appindicators, then how will the middle click action be "governed"? An idea: since these menu items are already well known to the panel, would it be possible to make a general dialog to make the user select the menu item to be activated by middle-clicking the icon? My original thought was to use Zeitgeist and use the most frequent menu item, but I think that would be confusing. However, if the first time you middle-clicked an icon, you were presented with a dialog enabling you to choose which icon to activate, that would both be consistent and user friendly. Except for one thing: people would get different actions for the middle-click, which would make it more difficult to provide support. I certainly see the use case, but I'm a little worried that it would recreate some of the confusion that's been haunting the "systray"-implementations for ages. Jo-Erlend Schinstad |
