two fingers swipe for pulley
Why not using a two finger swipe (like on a laptop's touchpad) for the pulley menu. That would solve the problem, that you have always scroll to the top before you can enter the pulley menu. The only...

While I wouldn't mind taking advantage of the 5-point touchscreen, I don't want to replace current pulley menu with two-finger gesture.

I like the fact Jolla's UI was designed with consideration for people who for whatever reason prefer using only one hand.

I actually like the idea. This would allow us to use the pulley menu on apps that have the vertical pull gesture already assigned to something else (mostly vertical scroling). This could be used in the...

@spacenewt @gabriel: why would you need two hands to do a two finger swipe? Just use two fingers of the same hand, e.g. index and middle finger. The touch screen detects size and seperation of the...

You need both hands: One to hold the device one to make the gesture. It doesn't just work with the thumb. But on the other hand: How do all this people zoom in and out with just one hand??? And...

@dthierbach, like Fellfrosch explained, I actually use the same hand to hold the phone and control the touch screen most of the time, just like back in the old days when we all used one hand for the...

@spacenewt @Milo @gabriel this wouldn't brake the one handedness of the device. Want to use just one hand, fine, scroll to the top. This would however add a *much* needed way of accessing the pulley...

There is no need to replace the current gesture. Why not add just this as an extra possibility, so that you can enter the pully menu from everywhere without the need to scroll to the top at first.

I really dont get why some people suggest more complicated gestures/swipes etc for end users.

This is not redundant, as there is no way to access pulley menu in the middle of a long flickable list or text.

Even though I like the current style, I think an alternative way to access the pulley menu would be a very good idea. It would enable use of the menu in applications that have "infinite scroll", such...

... and redundancy is evil, I know. To make this clear: I'm just looking for a more convenient way to interact with the device. And to enter the pulley menu is an elementary part of interaction, but...

No, thank you. Not a good idea, at least not to me. I see it as a regression to have to use both hands to use a phone, especially when 20 years ago, I could. Yes, phones have grown in size since the...

What a fantastic idea! I just finished typing a long post suggesting exactly the sane thing, only to find that someone else had the same idea before me. To all the nay-sayers, my suggestion would be to...

This would be specially useful for applications like **Map** and **Gallery**, where scroll has another meaning.

I do not think it would work. Remember the pulley indicator in your scenario. If accessible from every position the indicator has to be visible from every position too. In my oppinion it would over all...

Excuse me, but can you please explain what you are talking about? What pulley indicator? All we are saying is, keep the current system as it is, with all the unfortunate artifacts such as having to...
