Brief Summary
The proposed feature entails the implementation of touch bar shortcuts and controls in the Orion browser, similar to those in Safari. This feature is meant to improve navigation and provide a better user experience by making the browsing process faster and more intuitive. It will affect existing workflows by introducing an alternative method of navigation and control that can be faster than traditional methods for some users.
Details:
Users can use the proposed feature by interacting with their touch bar, which will now show various controls and shortcuts based on the context of their browsing. For instance, when on a webpage, they could see forward and backward navigation buttons, refresh, home, bookmarks, and other relevant options. When on a video-playing webpage, the touch bar could show video control options like play/pause, forward/backward, etc.
The Safari browser provides a good model for this kind of feature. In Safari, when a user is browsing, the touch bar shows icons for backward/forward navigation, the URL bar, bookmarks, and tab switching. When a user is on a page with a video, the touch bar changes to show video controls.
For this feature to extend its usefulness, the Orion browser could incorporate a customizable touch bar control feature where users could choose what shortcuts they want to see in their touch bar, allowing for a personalized and more efficient browsing experience.
