Caprine: Touch Bar support

Created on 8 Mar 2017  路  9Comments  路  Source: sindresorhus/caprine

The next version of Electron will come with Touch Bar support. See: https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/8095

I'm interested in hearing people's opinion on what it should contain? What shortcuts would be useful to have? What are the most common actions you do?

I think it should at least have buttons to go to the next/previous conversation.

It would be cool to have top chatted with people on it. Similar to the favorites chat heads on the mobile Messenger app. Maybe shortcut to start new private chat (not sure if those are supported on the web tho)

Will be adding several comments, so people can thumbs up on what they like.

  • Emojis:

    • Could be the most common.

    • Ideally would be the most frequently used.

Next/previous conversation.

Favourite contacts: Like @mirshko said, their "heads".

Start audio & video call.

Send a "Like". I feel like this is a big one. Separating it from the "Emojis" one, since it just has a lot of meaning and is very frequent.

"New message":

  • Could use the same icon that's already on top left.
  • After tap, would show friends with some heuristics, based on combination of favourites and most recent friends.

If anyone needs to test the Touch Bar and don't have a new MacBook Pro, there's https://github.com/sindresorhus/touch-bar-simulator

Touch Bar support has been added in #426! 馃帀 Closing.
