Take the Documents app as an example. let's assume there are many documents available and the list is scrollable. now if you long-tap anywhere on that list you will always open the context menu of one...

Can you give me an example of the type of list item you are referring to? I'm not very experienced with Sailfish yet.

how would you display context menus for list items? in order to show them, they must trigger at a long press. but then pulling would navigate the context menu instead of drawing down the pulley

i'd make pully accessible by swiping on scrollbar, if, of course, they aren't planning to introduce any other conflicting features to a scrollbar which involve swiping. Also, there could be an...

You can just fling them open, no need to slowly pull all the way. Also, if you start pulling from too far up/down and your finger goes off the screen, the pulley will fully expand.

You can pull them down all the way and then tap on the menu item you want to select.

Tap on the pulley menu indicator on top (or bottom) of the screen. The pulley menu would then open and you can tap on the desired option. I would actually prefer this action to the regular pulley menu...

Thank you for the feedback! I use the events view quite little and thought the active covers (of facebook, whatsapp...) would compensate peeking events. Maybe I aped the N9 a bit too much :). My point...

That would mean you would need to swipe twice just to see your notifications! It's like we're back on Android (with full screen mode enabled)!

I like to have Events screen always accessible with a swipe from the lower side... having it only on the multitasking screen is too limited IMHO.

The first tap would activate stuff. If it didn't, this would slow down things as it needs to wait for a possible second tap before doing stuff.

Double tap anywhere! Then pull down.

This can be implemented in any app right now. Just put a SilicaFlickable with a PageHeader and a PullDownMenu and then anchor the SilicaListView inside the flickable.

i agree, it's a simple an intuitive solution, with the only drawback of occupying some screen space, but maybe this issue could be avoided by reserving the edges just inside the screen for pulley menus...

Two finger swipe would be a great idea. It would also prevent closing apps accidentally (happens to me all the time). I also thought of proposing that. Maybe make it at least an option in System Settings?

Wouldn't this conflict with the pull gesture (i.e. the one to accept/cancel a requester)?

Maybe the best gesture is from inside to the bottom outside: - Easy to reach with your thumb - The already existing gestures can be kept - The direction is the is intuitive (pulling down for a pull...

The greatest drawback of the two finger swipe is that you can't do it with a single hand. I voted +1 for the inside-outside swipe.

This is too complicated, better to just have arrows on long lists to jump to either beginning our end of a long list... then you could access the pulley faster.

It solves an important problem: the way it works now, you can't access a pulley menu unless you have scrolled to the top of the screen. This method would work however far you have scrolled.

no, since when you peek you don't stop just inside the screen. The screen you peek at will not be visible enough through the application since the application is nearly opaque still. You have to move...
