Sideways scroll between windows

Roarsy

My feature request involves:

Arc has a clean sideways scroll experience to 'flick' between "spaces" (which I parallel to windows here)

Thanks for the suggestion! Would you mind sharing an example of how this works in Arc so we can get a clearer view of how this might work?

RoxyRoxyRoxy I’m curious about your question - does that mean that nobody in the office has Arc installed? Or Zen? :0 its, like, the main feature. Hard to miss.

I would expect a company making a browser to have all the browsers installed and used at all times…

mrmanafon I'm sure some of our team members do, but I personally don't; just wanted to get a clearer overview of what's being asked before sending it to the team :)

RoxyRoxyRoxy Thanks for the answer 🙂 its kinda funny, reminds me of a couple of years back when Vlad asked me to describe how the sidebar works and i was perplexed - like dude you are supposed to be the expert, why you asking me, go be on top of the industry developments and form an opinion… /rant

Anyway, the way it works is that they put a lot of effort into making switching between windows extremely easy. For example a scroll left or right while hovering over the sidebar would switch the window. Same story for a swipe on the trackpad, or a middle mouse scroll. The animation is such that it gives the user assurance of what is going on, and it is realtime, so that the user can easily change their mind mid-way and turn back. Wach window’s sidebar MAY have a separate bg colour, assisting with visual recognition of what it is used for, without having to read or look at the icon.
