Mobile/Archive/PanningLongPages

Summary

Panning a very long page (e.g http://planet.mozilla.org) is actually painful on Fennec. We need a way to make life easier for fingers.

Current Status

• I'm (vivien) doing some experimentations based on a mix between:

 - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/53305
 - http://xtech06.usefulinc.com/schedule/paper/91
 - some personal thought! yeah!

Basically my plan is to use 2 differents pan:

- the classic one
- an acccelerated one when panning on the edge
- show a minimap when clicking at the intersection of the right/bottom corner (maybe showing a transparent button on a mousedown)

Next Steps

• A prototype extension
• better suggestions than the dumb vingtetun prototype
