- I would like to mention the solution Edith adopts:
-
- Shift Control F9: Push Position
- Control F9: Pop Position
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- The problem of this solution is that you may easily loose a position
- by pushing a new position. And if you want to go to a certain
- position, you have to pop several positions. So I prefer "static"
- marks + a "go back" mark.

- This only takes two shortcuts and is far more intuitive than having to
- remember numbers. The Edith stack stores up to 4 positions which 'pop
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- If a window with comments near the numbers is displayed, you don't have
- to remember anything. But remembering 3 or 4 numbers isn't difficult.
-
- Instead of using one shortcut by mark, one may use only one shortcut for
- all the marks by typing the shortcut and a character.

- Handling sliders:
- """""""""""""""""
- Sliders MUST be handled in a redraw-as-you-drag (or active-drawing)
- method in order to provide full functionality. Any sliders that are
- designed to display information (such as scaling percentages, etc) should
- be displayed either within the slider bar, or to the direct right or
- left of the slider track. Sliders that take time to draw information
- based on their position must be ghost-drag type.
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- How about having always the 2 possibilities? e.g. active-drawing with the
- left button, and ghost-drag with the right button (or shift-left button).
