Osu: Add right click context menu to beatmap links to allow immediate presenting at song select

Created on 29 Apr 2020  路  9Comments  路  Source: ppy/osu

Describe the new feature:

Currently clicking "now playing " does open osu!direct. in stable clicking on this leads you directly to the map as long youre in song select. i feel like this should behave the same way in lazer.

Proposal designs of the feature:

Send us directly to the map if you are in song select instead of opening osu!direct

overlay-chat UX

Could add a right click menu for that, I guess.

The current behaviour is intentional. You can visit the map by clicking the goto map button.

wouldnt this be more convenient, espacially for phone user? this would speed things up maybe by not much but that seems more logicable

The idea is to give the user a choice. Clicking something in chat shouldn't change the game's state.

Mh i see. But allow me to make a example.

If youre say streaming and you get a request. You would click on it and you would be send to the map and you can check it out faster because you do have the important stats already shown on the top left on song select. now if youre not having the map however you would be presented with the osu!direct screen and from there youre able to choose to Download/Play it or not.

While i do see the logic behind not changing the game's state. i think for most people it would be favoured to not greeted each time with a osu!direct screen. Or at the very least giving users the choice because all whats really happening is moving from SongSelect to the song. Not from a different menu to song select to the song. you dont really get kicked out of the screen or anything. while with this current option you do get this "overlay" forced upon you. would be nice to give this over the time a different thought or approach.

Could add a right click menu for that, I guess.

This would be a welcome solution to this imo. 馃憤

Renamed issue accordingly.

So the context menu should have options "open in osu!direct" and "open in song select" with the other being inactive if you haven't downloaded it?

"Go to beatmap"
"Details..." (this matches right click at song select)
