Quick Add Bar Blog Post
And lastly, there is the Quick Add Bar.
It’s really a very specialized popup. It’s temporary and out of the way, and draggable as well. With it you can add new words really quickly, much faster than with the popup where you choose what list to add to each time, but it also allows you to easily make changes and customizations.
What happens now is that when you click the Quick Add buttons in the word popup, or you add through the Quick Add shortcut or page, the bar will show up nearby and inform you whether adding worked or not. It checks to see if you Quick Added the word before, or if you’re already studying it, and by default prevents adding these duplicates, though you can always override this. The bar also allows you to undo the change, or choose a different list to add to. And finally, it remembers what list you chose last, so you can in a pinch change the default.
This wraps up our Quick Add feature set addition. We’re almost done with the new list system entirely, save for one last big change: editing published lists. It’s very nearly ready for prime time, though some optimizations and tests need to be done first. Stay tuned!
