Small quality of life UI tweaks #536
Comments
Hi @darsain - Thanks for going through all of this! With regards to the copying fields by clicking, I'm not sure that this makes so much sense. For instance, I frequently copy only a portion of the field value. Having an auto-copy feature would hinder that and be less obvious from a UX perspective. I'm also not completely convinced that hiding the buttons is so bad in terms of UX. It hides clutter (which is bad UX) and you instantly learn about them when you hover one field. If they were all visible the interface would look horrible as well, imho. On the custom fields divider, I tend to somewhat agree with your sentiment there. We could just have them altogether, but I wouldn't make the username/password removable. In place of that, I would hope that we get #540 implemented so that some entry types that don't need those fields can hide them. |
You can still select text no problem. Fields get copied on Also, I thought click or double-click to copy is pretty much standard in password managers, no? It's also obvious by cursor changing to hand if you hover the field. It says there is an action upon clicking, and copy is the only action that makes sense in this context. At worst, you can add a little helpful hint in the bottom right corner that says "click values to copy them". I find the current situation of having to copy fields by clicking on that tiny and hidden icon very frustrating to be honest. And icons: when you have many, make a hamburger. If you have a few, display inline. Hiding just makes it worse to use, since it's harder to aim for it. And I personally dislike UI elements popping into existence as I move the cursor, but that might just be my personal grudge. |
NO REPLY NECESSARY Hi all, Hope you're well Thanks for software - just left Dashlane and it's wonderful; everything works! I stumbled upon this issue while submitting another issue
I agree, however an enhancement would be the ability to select/copy without having to enter the edit entry state - currently if I try to select (i.e. drag) it moves the whole window:
I agree too, although I understand @darsain's concern with targeting buttons - perhaps keyboard navigation could be both a solution here and an overall enhancement @darsain FYI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_disclosure If you have any issues (e.g. questions/queries) happy to help Hope this helps! Keep up great work! Regards |
FYI Very different context but my todo app[p] employed this progressive disclosure technique a while back and seems to be a successful enhancement Hope this is useful! Regards |
Sorry everyone - I'm going to close this issue as it's going to be too hard to follow. Please create separate issues if you wish to push any particular points forward. Feel free to copy content as it suits. Thanks! |
Copy field values by clicking on the whole value area, not the small hidden icon to the right.

Don't hide field action buttons, like the eye to view the password
Buttons popping into existence when moving mouse cursor is distracting. I'm also not aware of them until I happen to hover over one, creating an illusion of missing features for new users.
Also, trying to click one means I have to aim for an invisible target, so you aim for the row, and then as the button pops into existence adjust your aim for the button, making sure you move properly horizontally, because hovering out of the field will hide it again. Isn't it easier to just aim straight for the button?
By making value field itself the copy field button, you've removed most of the current buttons, and are left only with the eye button to show passwords, so this will cause no UI clutter at all, but make the UI nicer to visually navigate and use.
Remove the "Custom fields" section divider
This divider servers no practical purpose, and it arbitrarily divides data of the same item for no semantic meaning to the user. It only informs me how are the fields implemented in the backend, which has no value to me. And it takes valuable UI space. And looks bad having the overall nice table of data divided like that :)
