Tab interaction in FMRadio.
I've got to say that I like the tab interaction of the browser in FMRadio much better than safari, which i use on the mac. With safari, say i'm on my far left tab, my tabstrip is full, and want to open a link in a new window. So the link opens in a new tab that's tucked in the more menu. So now it's a big pain to switch back and forth between those 2 windows. Where as in the tab interaction of FMRadio, the new tab is opened immediately to the right of the tab from which it was launched. They figure you want to look at things in proximity to where you launched them. Now you end up with an ad hoc ordering of tabs, but it means less mouse movement and better sense making for me. Alan says there's an article somewhere about why people think the Mozilla tab interaction is best. I'll have to find that.
I know there's some deeper issues here such as the tab sets you get in safari and mozilla, but that's a different post. [Marcus' Tablet PC Radio Weblog] 4:15:39 PM |
