Command Bar in IE7
Bugs
- No status bar text while moving through these items.
- Focus sometimes gets stuck in the Command Bar if you try clicking away from it after using a keyboard shortcut to get into it.
Ideas
- Menu bar always visible. (Became current behaviour in an update during 2007.)
- Place menu bar at the top of the window, below the title bar.
- Place the IE6 toolbar below the menu bar:
- Back
- Forward
- Refresh
- Stop
- Home
- (Other stuff?)
- Place the address bar below the toolbar:
- Give it a bar to itself, with controls in this order:
- Address label.
- Combobox.
- Go button.
- Don’t have a Search box:
- Let users type searches into the Address bar.
- Let users configure which search engine this uses.
- Abandon IE7’s interpretation of the Command Bar control.
- Maybe put the address bar alongside the toolbar?
