Have you ever used things like QuickSilver, Gnome-Do, etc. The work great and complemnt Shortcuts and Menus.
I think this is very clever. Think you are using a complex software like OpenOffice - you know some feature you want to use, but don't recall the shortcut, just type in the name and to can use it. No movement away from the keyboard neccessary - very powerful idea.
- mbq 15y agoI'm not saying that it is a bad idea on its own -- the terrible idea is that they will most likely remove menus and shortcuts because "HUD is better". Not always.
- agumonkey 15y agoFunny cause HUD reminds me of Maya who has one hell fast mouse based UI/Widgets. Unfortunately, almost nobody in the software industry (I mean beside some 2d/3d progrmas) knows or follows this kind of design. You make me wanna design a keyboardless system, or maybe a two thumb only input system.
