Interfaces with half-a-dozen shift keys for the mouse buttons are getting quite common now. I'm curious what people think of them. If you would take a few minutes to fill out the following survey, I would appreciate it. 1. Do you interfaces where shift, control, meta, etc... modify mouse presses. Yes: _ No: _ Why: Alternatives: 2. Do you like context sensitive key presses(i.e Right key does menu in root, scroll down in scroll bar, and select when inside a text window). Yes: _ No: _ Why: Alternatives: 3. Should options like close window, move window, etc. apply to the currently active window or should the user pick the action and then point to the window. Active window: _ Point at window: _ Other: ______________________ Why: 4. Should icons stay with the window they replace, or should they move to a standard area of the screen. Stay: _ Move: _ Why: 5. List the things you most like about window systems you have used. 6. List the things you most dislike about window systems you have used. Please return the your comments to me and I will summarize to the net. Mike Wexler UUCP: seismo!uunet!peregrine!mike ATT: (714)855-3923 INTERNET: mik Mof the tt
