Tap to click drives me insane, as well as some of the socalled gesture enhancements. Capacitive screens also go nuts because dry fingers generate more static electricity and many devices simply do not have sufficient hysterysis to manage to differentiate close to touch, or static from real contact. I absolutely hate anything that makes the actual mechanical interface have no sense, and not knowing that tap to click is on is really frustrating, even if you can find the bit to turn it off. (system/controls, utilities/???, system/settings??? Moreover even if it can be turned off, how in the heck do you expect the user to be able to track down every little setting that modernsystems come up with? At some point we need to get one window where you can list and edit every single setting in one place, but who exactly will take on that particulary odious task? My own setting require larger fonts with out serifs, bold, 16 point or bigger (eyes going), louder sounds with an equalizer to help make up for the limited sound profiles in the hearing aids I can afford, And how about a real tactile keyboard that has a real nice mechanical feel and click? A mouse that really tracks where you tell it to go directly??? or some other device.... By the way, where is my 3d pointer and 3d screen with all the above, and don't skimp on the brightness either, sonny. Yeah, I'm an old fart, only type about 320 words perminute if I get the right settings, keyboard, and a key scanner that can keep up without turning my letters around. Clambering down from my soap box, now. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
