When are they gonna add a proper UI for this? I look like a moron using the phone this way, and shaking only works to trigger the undo about half the time.

- nukem222 2y agoEdit: thank you! Man I get gestures have been embraced by the community, but this is emphatically not what I meant. The only gesture that makes sense to me is pinch-to-zoom and maybe swiping on cards that appear to be floating. There's no way to discover this functionality outside of googling documentation and it often doesn't work with one hand.
- julik 2y agoThere is another that is fairly intuitive for a Mac person: tap-and-hold to get a contextual menu. Shame they have hidden it under some kind of "haptic feedback" thingamagig.
- nukem222 2y agoThe ipad also has an icon above its keyboard. Whatever lack of obvious interaction is available on the phone seems intentional. Cynically, I think you'd just look like even more of a fool shaking an ipad and this is the only reason they approved such a button.
