Description
I really like osmtracker and use it almost daily for osm surveys and the feature I use probably the most is the text not feature. I typically even write notes while walking so sometimes I'm not sure if I hit the OK button correctly. So there a some (I guess minor changes) that could be done to immensely improve my experience with the text note feature.
- Snackbar message that the text note was tracked (like all other buttons do that already)
- Don't close the text input dialog when hitting the backdrop.
This is actually the biggest issue for me because currently I not only have no feedback at all if I my stubby fingers hit or missed the OK button, but if I miss I lose the text I wrote - Move the Cancel button in the input dialog on the left side of the input box to increase the distance between the Cancel and the OK button.
I'm not really sure about that one. I think it could improve the experience even more, but I don't have a strong opinion about it
Use Cases
Writing with stubby fingers while walking.
On a more serious note, to give the same feedback like all the other tracking buttons and to reduce the risk of discarding text without even noticing.
Benefits
Like stated above, unifying the behavior with other tracking buttons and improves reliability. IMHO the biggest benefit is that the required changes are pretty small compared to the gained usability.
Alternatives
Not implementing it? Would make me sad but is probably the only realistic "alternative", because the suggested changes are pretty small already I guess.
