As much as I don’t like negative threads, there’s one thing in iOS that really irritates me, and I want to air it…

Pressing and holding the tab button in Safari to access tab groups, should have a haptic response.

Because it doesn’t, I often end up opening the tab view instead, so I have to huff a little, hit Done, then try again. I don’t know why it annoys me that it doesn’t because none of the other buttons in Safari do, but I feel like it should.

No, I have not contacted Tim Apple about this. Yes, I probably should.

    When windows steal focus in macOS. If I am opening an app it should be able to open in the background while I do something else. Same with a “file copy” dialog in Finder. So many apps and windows repeatedly steal focus and push themselves to the top and it’s so frustrating.

      Oh Christ yes. If I’m using an app, then I don’t give a shit if another app wants my attention.

      To be fair this also happens in Windows (Zoom anyone?) and probably Linux too, although for the latter that may be customizable.

        Yep, this bad design is everywhere. Typing my password when a text editor opens…

        Yes! If you have a full screen app open with stage manager active on your primary desktop, swiping between the full screen app and the desktop basically becomes a game of app roulette.

        So… do you mind telling the rest of us how to do this? I don’t see a setting anywhere to change this behavior.
