Hi all,
I've been following the discussion here on moving Firefox's bookmarking
system toward tagging with both excitement and trepidation.
I'm a mouse-coholic! I spend no less that 10 hours a day in the
browser. I work in the browser. I play in the browser. Yet despite
that, I would be hard pressed to remember any of Firefox's or IE's
keyboard shortcuts beyond cut/copy/paste. I hate using the keyboard and
have configure my browser accordingly. This includes adding "Go" and
"Search" buttons for dragged-&-dropped text selections and a very
carefully designed hierarchy of bookmark folders for dragged-&-dropped
URLs. I very rarely use URL autocomplete, preferring instead the
bookmark toolbar and history sidebar.
I've used tagging systems and I love Love LOVE the functionality but I
have yet to come across a tagging UI that allows me to manage and use
tags easily with only a mouse. So, I decided to mock up my own dream
tagging system for the hierarchically minded keyboard-phobic. I hope to
try my hand at developing an extension that integrates this into Places.
I would love some feedback, so please feel free to comment.
Thanks,
Ian
