[GitHub] [cloudstack] borisstoyanov opened a new issue #4798: UX improvements in the UI

borisstoyanov opened a new issue #4798:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/4798

##### ISSUE TYPE

* Improvement Request

##### COMPONENT NAME

~~~
UI
~~~

##### CLOUDSTACK VERSION

~~~
4.16
~~~

##### OS / ENVIRONMENT

Should be browser/OS agnostic

##### SUMMARY

This could be interesting to any UI/UX engineer, not required huge domain knowledge which usually turns down candidates.

Surely our new UI is great, but there’s some things that could be improved like for example:

Being able to navigate without mouse and use shortkey – for example when on the dashboard when the user presses T, he could be directly transitioned to Templates. Or I for infrastructure, G – global settings, H for hosts etc.. While in networks/instances/volumes press A – add item(network,volume etc). Same goes for all buttons inside a page like Instances (stop, start, destroy etc)

Confirm dialogues with key – This is not working consistently, some dialogue windows have it some do not. But surely it’ll be great if we can confirm by pressing Enter or Space and cancel by Esc.

Forms submission improvements – For example, when deploying instance if you simply click ok without selected network it will prompt you with error and then you’ll need to scroll back to the network place and add it. We could be more intuitive and automatically move the focus of the user back at the networks place in the form, where user can easily add or select a network.

Placement of buttons and forms – I’ve pointed this as debatable since it’s more of a UX discussion, which may end up with a decision ‘there is nothing to fix’. The idea is to think about questions as is this form intuitive enough, or is this button placed good, maybe there’s a more suitable place for it. Etc.
