“…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.

“…Les menus contextuels, tels que les «marking menus » [23], ne sont pas toujours visibles et ne peuvent contenir qu'une partie des éléments de la barre d'outils. De nouveaux gestes sur ou autour du clavier (par exemple FingerChord [39], Hot-Strokes [13]) peuvent faciliter l'accès aux commandes mais exigent des utilisateurs qu'ils apprennent et mémorisent les gestes. Enfin, l'augmentation des dispositifs de saisie actuels ou la conception de nouveaux dispositifs peut améliorer la sélection des commandes (par exemple, LensMouse [37] RPM [31] et TDK [8]).…”

In this article, we discuss the challenge of reducing mouse pointer transitions between the work object (e.g. a text document) and toolbars on desktop computers. To this end, we present SmartCom, an innovative approach to the selection of commands on toolbars, based on the use of both keyboard and touchscreen. The toolbar is displayed on the touch screen, which is placed beneath the keyboard. Users can select commands by performing gestures that combine pressing a key with the pinky finger and touching the screen with the thumb of the same hand. After analyzing the design properties of SmartCom, a preliminary study established that users could reach the entire surface of the touch screen with their thumb. Then, a user study revealed that direct pointing surpasses indirect pointing to select items on a simple toolbar displayed on the touch screen. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-computer interaction (HCI) → Interaction techniques; Gestural input.

“…Over the past decades, the IHM'19 Adjunct, December 10-13, 2019, Grenoble, France SmartCom: Combining a smartphone and a keyboard for enhanced command selection on desktop… 6:2 HCI community proposed many solutions to enhance command selection. Research work varied from new menu interfaces [8], [17], [6], [21], [11], new interaction techniques [13], [14], [12], [5], [22], or new physical input devices [18], [19], [7], [20], [10]. Yet, none of them has proposed a solution that addresses the 3 problems we previously listed together.…”

We present SmartCom, a combination of a smartphone and the traditional physical keyboard to enhance command selection by 1) eliminating occlusion, 2) reducing command discoverability time and 3) reducing homing cost. We performed a reachability study to evaluate the feasibility of gestures combining key press and phone touch. The results are promising and none of our participants found SmartCom usage difficult. In the future, we plan to design and evaluate novel interaction techniques for SmartCom.
