In the HIG[1] the distinction between a 'Two-touch' and a 'Long tap' is not clear. Both _can_ be used to bring up a context menu, but it not defined which one _should_ be used to bring up a context menu or what other uses are recommended. [1] http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/beta/hig/html/ch07s02.html#input-soft-keys
I'm not sure why double-tap is even mentioned, so I dropped it and partially rewrote the long-touch section to emphasize that it's the recommended way to bring out a context-sensitive menu. commit 027b498414934942258905408fc4106e8883502e Author: Claudio Saavedra <csaavedra@igalia.com> Date: Wed Jun 10 08:45:08 2009 +0300 Fix double-tap/long-touch ambiguity in the HIG Do not mention double-tap, since it is not really recommended/used in Fremantle. Long-touch is the prefered way to bring out a context-sensitive menu.
The two-touch is back. This time in the wiki: http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Human_Interface_Guidelines/User_Input#Two-Touch I have no idea whether or not this page was created from "official" side. So I´m reopening.
Hildon UI Guides (those PDF documents here http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide) will deprecate HIG. Have you checked is these different tabs have been documented in those guides? If not this needs to be moved to the Graphical UI Tutorial as HIG dill be dropped. It overlaps too much with these Hildon UI Guides: # Master Layout Guide # Hildon 2.2 UI Style Guide # Hildon 2.2 Widget UI Specification # Maemo 5 Desktop Widget UI Guidelines
If the document I mentioned is now depricated, feel free to close this bug. I can't look through all documents mentioned by you ATM, because the N900 pdf viewer has no search function :/
Then you have to wait until we have Fremantle Developer Guide HTML (and PDF and MediaWiki :) version ready and published...
(In reply to comment #3) > # Master Layout Guide > # Hildon 2.2 UI Style Guide > # Hildon 2.2 Widget UI Specification > # Maemo 5 Desktop Widget UI Guidelines I´ve searched those documents for "two touch" and "two-touch". Couldn´t find anything, so I´m closing this bug.
