|Feature overview=Panorama has a lot of small interaction problems, and some conceptual problems too. We'd like to spend some time to eliminate as many of these as we can. We'd like to bundle these up as a feature page for ease of tracking — especially since some of the issues are related, and need to land in the same release.


== Summary ==
This feature falls primarily in the '''Experience''' category (from the "Discover, Experience, and Connect" vision statement.)
Panorama has a lot of small interaction problems, and some conceptual problems too. We'd like to spend some time to eliminate as many of these as we can.
|Feature ux design=The designs are mostly smaller interaction problems and confusing conceptual models. We have filed bugs for the individual issues (see the relevant bug section below), but overall, these are the issues we're addressing:


== Team ==
'''Must-have:'''
* '''Feature Manager''': Alex Limi
*You can't click a group to activate the whole group (Creating a new group and clicking in it should just create a blank new tab) (Don't show the drag cursor on groups now that entering the group is the dominant operation. Dragging could still work, of course.) (Remove New Tab button)
* '''Lead Developer''': Tim Taubert
*When creating a new group, autofocus the title field (also for creating groups by dragging)  
* '''Product Manager''':
*Tabs should not be able to exist without a group 
* '''QA''': George Carstoiu (irc: GeorgeCarstoiu)
*A "new group" control
* '''UX''': Alex Limi
*An exit control
* '''Accessibility''':
*A text field to filter instead of the search icon
* '''Security''':
* '''Privacy''':


== Release Requirements ==
'''Nice-to-have:'''
*Multiselect is not supported in groups
*Blank groups with no name get removed, shouldn't


'''Stuff we are undecided about or don't know current state of:'''
*Never show me groups when I haven't asked (closing the last tab in a group, Aero Peek) 
*Minimize need for manual positioning and grouping
*Groups from Panorama could show in List All Tabs — but we should probably just show the group names, not individual tabs. Related: bug 596017


== Designs ==
'''Fixed:'''
Make functionality more discoverable:
*FIXED: Private mode ungroups your tabs
* a new group control
*FIXED: When you close the last tab in a group, you automatically get sent to another open group, is this what we want?
* an exit control
*FIXED: Hitting Cmd-W when in panorama removes the selected tab, which is unexpected (it feels like a window operation at that point)
* a text field to filter instead of the search icon
*WONTFIX: You can't detach a group to a window
*FIXED: Text editing doesn't support arrow keys

Open issues/risks

`

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Panorama has a lot of small interaction problems, and some conceptual problems too. We'd like to spend some time to eliminate as many of these as we can. We'd like to bundle these up as a feature page for ease of tracking — especially since some of the issues are related, and need to land in the same release.

This feature falls primarily in the Experience category (from the "Discover, Experience, and Connect" vision statement.)

2. Users & use cases

`

3. Dependencies

`

4. Requirements

`

Non-goals

`

Stage 2: Design

5. Functional specification

`

6. User experience design

The designs are mostly smaller interaction problems and confusing conceptual models. We have filed bugs for the individual issues (see the relevant bug section below), but overall, these are the issues we're addressing:

Must-have:

  • You can't click a group to activate the whole group (Creating a new group and clicking in it should just create a blank new tab) (Don't show the drag cursor on groups now that entering the group is the dominant operation. Dragging could still work, of course.) (Remove New Tab button)
  • When creating a new group, autofocus the title field (also for creating groups by dragging)
  • Tabs should not be able to exist without a group
  • A "new group" control
  • An exit control
  • A text field to filter instead of the search icon

Nice-to-have:

  • Multiselect is not supported in groups
  • Blank groups with no name get removed, shouldn't

Stuff we are undecided about or don't know current state of:

  • Never show me groups when I haven't asked (closing the last tab in a group, Aero Peek)
  • Minimize need for manual positioning and grouping
  • Groups from Panorama could show in List All Tabs — but we should probably just show the group names, not individual tabs. Related: bug 596017

Fixed:

  • FIXED: Private mode ungroups your tabs
  • FIXED: When you close the last tab in a group, you automatically get sent to another open group, is this what we want?
  • FIXED: Hitting Cmd-W when in panorama removes the selected tab, which is unexpected (it feels like a window operation at that point)
  • WONTFIX: You can't detach a group to a window
  • FIXED: Text editing doesn't support arrow keys

Stage 3: Planning

7. Implementation plan

`

8. Reviews

Security review

`

Privacy review

`

Localization review

`

Accessibility

`

Quality Assurance review

`

Operations review

`

Stage 4: Development

9. Implementation
