Is size not part of "shared identity and values"? Also, if you like animals, why not use different kinds for easier differentiation rather than stick to birds users will not even know names for?

Are you not aware that remote monitoring software exists? Your option is also not mutually exclusive, you can have your red buttons for local workers. Is redundancy not "proper UI"? (I'm amazed how people stubbornly refuse to

One reason to stop there is because your examples are absurd, while mine aren't. The are already apps where you have undo stacks for selection and text cursor positioning, so coupling that with the "state of the world" is an

That! I don't want apps to steal focus in some conditions. I can't set it like that because the settings are too primitive. Why would I be satisfied with a primitive binary toggle when I want workflow-dependent conditions?

Your specific example is just repeating what I've said, but your generic point is wrong: let's say you have an important task in an app with unavoidable interruptions, during which you switch to your browser to mindlessly scroll.

How would that global app ban help? You do want the application to steal focus when necessary. It's just in this case the user has made the decision to not wait for startup and switch to another app. Aggravating step - he was typing. I

You can't work well for a "mental model" based on frequency because in reality you have two different mental models. Sure, if one is more prevalent you might reduce the frequency of a mismatch, but that's it. > doing
