This is why "discoverability" sucks. I've used Android for 9 years, and I'm aware of long-pressing but I didn't know it was a substitute for mouse-hovering. Is this standard? I thought it was a substitute for right click.
- tomcatfish 8y agoIt's fairly standard, or used to be at least, with right click only happening in text areas.
- gowld 8y agoYou're right that you can't differentiate "Hover" from "context-click" on mobile. But there's not need to have two separate actions for "show info tooltip" and "context menu", since they don't interfere. Poking at something to see what it does is something most people do since toddlerhood. The only challenge is getting over your fear that irreversible operations are triggered on touchdown not touchup.
