Getting back to results page from actions page
Last modified: 2007-09-14 14:01:13 UTC
Right now, the user has to press "<-" to get back to the results page. This is half-way intuitive for key-nav users, but even for those there is no hint that this will work (Results->Actions has a ">", we need something similar here too). For mouse users, if you got to the actions page using ctrl-click, matters ware even worse: you have to use the key nav (which most users will probably not even know about) and even if you try to use key nav, you will find it non-working - because if you didn't use "->" to get to that page, you have to press "->" now before pressing "<-", else the widget doesn't seem to have focus => FIXME 1 Anyway, what is needed is a "[<-] Back to search results" button, perhaps put a small pane on the bottom of the window (see tomboy/evince search widget) => FIXME 2

We need a button or something else to get back to the matches using the mouse. Nevertheless, I'm still not sure what the best position for a button might be.
