To see the forum while composing, you can still use the dedicated minimise button in the top right corner.
There may be potential differences in experiences between Hub/webapp, or the various browsers. Please report those to see if this is a viable change everywhere or not.
Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer having the composer at half-height when the keyboard is closed, as I need to quote different things from a post above, but this makes it harder - I have to collapse the whole composer instead.
On a smartphone, things look good to me. However, on tablets, I am less sure.
First, when I start a reply, the composer area is quite small (screenshot from a 12.9“ iPad below), definitely smaller than it needs to be.
But when I enter the text box and start typing, the composer goes fullscreen as for my iPhone, which is not really needed IMO (and there’s also no obvious means to resize it to half size - which is probably intended).
Yes, the tablet experience is lacking atm and has a whole bunch of other things “going on” that I need to look at to optimise things. It def needs a different approach.
Would it be possible to have the option for both? I like the full screen for reading back, but I also like the half screen for inserting quotes and comparing my answer to the post I’m replying to. At the moment, when I minimise it places the cursor to the end of the composer text, and pops the quote there (when I wanted to put it mid post).
Could I have a button that toggles half screen/full screen (& minimise)?
I like the half-composer for this too. I like the option of having both my bit and the thing I’m replying to next to each other without having to flick between screens. I think it helps me double-check what I’m saying is relevant and I’m replying to what was said and not just what I think someone said [1]
Yeah I like it too. Thanks
