Re: [Epiphany] Bookmarks design

[Dave Bordoley <bordoley pilot msu edu>]

I just threw this together, so there may be some inconsistencies  but it 
should give you the general gist of how I would like the bme to act.

Dave's Propose Top Level Window Bookmark Editor
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a last ditch effort to convince marco that a toplevel bme window 
would be cool, here is my pseudo ui proposal. One nicety of a toplevel 
window is that it would be possible to open the bookmarks editor, 
without first opening a browser window (via a command line switch and 
probably another app menu entry). This would imo further facilitate fast 
access to bookmarks, by removing the middle man (the browser).

Forgive me for any incorrect spacing, and for not coding up the trees, 
but you know its a glade mockup :)


Menus
------------------------
File:
->New _Topic   Ctrl+N
    Create a new topic in the topic list.
->-----------------
->Open in _New Window(s)  Ctrl+O
    Open the selected bookmark(s) in a new window(s).
    Should be insensitive if there are no selections.
->Open in New _Tab(s)  Shift+Ctrl+O
    Open the selected bookmark(s) in a new tab(s) in the last used 
browser window.
    If there are no exisiting open windows, open a new window.
    Editor note: Yeah this could be a little confusing, but just 
remember tabs are crack anyway.
    Should be insensitive if there are no selections.
->-----------------
->Re_name  F2
    Behavior depends on the selection. If a single bookmark is selected, 
the tree entry switches into editting
    mode to allow editting the name. Behavior is similar if a topic is 
selected. If multiple bookmarks or topics
    are selected this item ought to be insensitive.
->_Remove  Delete
    Behavior depends on the selection. If a bookmark(s) is selected, it 
is removed from all topics.
    If a topic is selected, only the topic itself is removed, all 
bookmarks that contain the topic still remain
    in the "All" topic. Should be insensitive if there are no selections.
->_Properties  Alt+Enter
    Open the property window of the selected bookmark. If there are 
multiple selections, it can either follow
    nautilus behavior and open a property window for each selected 
bookmark,
    or perhaps a multiple selection pref dialog can be created.
    Should be insensitive if there are no selections.
->-----------------
->_Close  Ctrl+W
    Close the bookmarks window.

Edit:
->_Undo  Ctrl+Z
    Undo the last done action, including removal of bookmarks, keywords, 
any editting done etc.
->_Redo  Shift+Ctrl+z
    Exact opposite of Redo
->-----------------
->Cu_t  Ctrl+X
->_Copy Ctrl+C
    These menu entries only apply to text editting, and should be 
insensitive unless there is a text selection.
->_Paste  Ctrl+V
    This menu entry only applies to text editing, and should be 
insensitive unless there is clipboard content
    to be pasted.
->-----------------
-> Select _All  Ctrl+A
    Behavior depends on selection and focus. If a text entry has focus, 
it selects all text in the entry.
    If a tree (bookmarks or topic lists), it selects all items in the tree.

Help:
-> _Contents  F1
    Display the bookmark editor help
-> _About


Context Menus:
----------------------------
Bookmark(s):
-> Open in _New Window(s)
-> Open in New _Tab(s)
-> Re_name
-> _Remove
-> _Properties

Topic(s)
-> Open in _New Windows
-> Open in New _Tabs
-> Re_name
-> _Remove


Other Interaction Notes:
---------------------------------------
1. Keywords can be added to bookmarks by dragging and dropping a 
bookmark to the keyword.
2. Double clicking on a bookmark performs the default opening action 
(following the user pref)
3. Should you be able to double click on a topic?
4. Should Remove really be delete?
