General usability principle - active input fields



  • Example from snapshots. When I select New snapshot a dialog appears prompting for a name, but the input field is not active. I have to click in it with the pointer or press TAB.

    All such dialogs should have the cursor activated in the input field and the suggested content pre-selected like this:

    Essentially the state you get if you hit tab today.
