“…However, it appears that users simply did not want to use Swipe on the tablet, as it was used for around 1% of the selections, and even less in landscape mode. P4, 5,7,8,11,12 found dragging across the larger screen area of the tablet was "challenging" and "uncomfortable". Participants reported that swiping was too "tedious on the tablet", usually because of "the long distance that [one] needs to swipe" (P4).…”

“…Repeated studies have demonstrated the performance benefits of hotkeys over alternative input methods such as menubars or toolbars [11,31,35,39]. The high performance ceiling of hotkeys has motivated researchers to investigate how they could leverage different keyboard capabilities [8], hand postures [48] or different types of key sequences [5]. Nevertheless, hotkeys still suffer from one main limitation, which is that users must recall the key combination in order to be able to use them [19,34].…”

Touch-based devices, despite their mainstream availability, do not support a unified and efficient command selection mechanism, available on every platform and application. We advocate that hotkeys, conventionally used as a shortcut mechanism on desktop computers, could be generalized as a command selection mechanism for touch-based devices, even for keyboard-less applications. In this paper, we investigate the performance and usage of soft keyboard shortcuts or hotkeys (abbreviated SoftCuts) through two studies comparing different input methods across sitting, standing and walking conditions. Our results suggest that SoftCuts not only are appreciated by participants but also support rapid command selection with different devices and hand configurations. We also did not find evidence that walking deters their performance when using the Once input method. CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → Interaction techniques.
