Functional trackpad?
A trackpad ( or roller ball) that replaces ( or duplicates) swipe functions.
Method of employment
- works like normal trackpad when not depressing it.
- when depressed these would be some of the functions
* depress and swipe right [ u r in hub]
* depress swipe right without lifting finger [ peek function]
***depress once [ brings you to root of hub]
*depress and swipe up [ take u out of hub or closes app]
* depress swipe up and hold [ minimizes running app]
**** depress twice ( double click) [ take u to top of hub or top of page
Etc...
So many advantages for this over using bezel swipes
+ shrink size of top and bottom bezels.
+ eliminate accidentally swipe out of applications ( ie. I swipe out of hub a lot when flicking a word from the fret above space bar)
+ eliminate the repeated swipe attempts trying to close an app
+ as phones get bigger it would allow functions to be added to use one hand to do anything ///////
Eg. Of facilitating one hand operations on large phablet.
Long press and scroll down -- this releases the frame of an app from the boundary of the display frame. Now you can touch a link on a web page or input text in a text box that would normally be out of reach of your thumb.
Click the track pad a the app snaps back to its boundary.
