@Felix, sometimes a "Won't Fix" status being slapped on your bug can
come across a little dismissive, just want to let you know that we
really do appreciate the report :) In fact, I personally agree with your
suggestion to be able to navigate scopes via the dots, its definitely
intuitive.

As our UX team has pointed out, we're working on a new design that
should make navigating scopes a lot cleaner, so we will have to wait and
see how that plays out. Thanks for helping make Ubuntu better! Look
forward to seeing some more good suggestions like these.

Title:
  [scopes] Request: Allow to navigate to favorite scopes by clicking the
  dot

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Won't Fix
Status in unity-scopes-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Currently favorite scopes are ordered in a certain way, and indicated
  by a small dot below the header. In case a scope is activated the dot
  turns grey.

  To move from the first scope (e.g. today) to for example the sixth (e.g. twitter) one can
  a) slight through (1->2->3->4->5->6) which takes 5 actions, and is pretty time consuming, since some scopes load slow
  b) use the bottom up gesture and look for the scope wanted and click on it. This is much faster and takes only two actions.

  However the dots, lead the average user to take option a) because the
  dots indicate a left to right movement to switch scopes. Also by using
  the b) option, the dots do not make much sense (because it doesn't
  matter whether you are at the third or fifth place in the favorite
  list)

  Suggested Behavior
  ================
  The dots should be clickable as shortlinks to each favorite scope.

  This would:
  1. Speed up the process of switching, may be even in the case that one has to tap twice in order to get the right dot. (may be the margin between the dots could even be a bit bigger)
  2. Give the dots an acutal function/meaning (despite to (mis)lead to inefficient left right swipes)

  --- UX Comment ---

  We are currently working on the redesign of the dash/scopes navigation
  and the suggested behaviour does not fit with the project plans. We
  are testing a prototype of the concept and we’ll share the design
  specification as soon as it’s available.
