Fitts’ What?

Fitts’ Law from the KDE User Interface Guidelines

Summary

  • Bigger Is Better for buttons, especially on toolbars.
  • Use screen corners and edges.
  • Macintosh-style menus are faster than Windows/Unix-style, because they’re on the screen edge.
  • Never put a one-pixel non-clickable boundary around buttons on the screen edge.
  • Circular (pie) popup menus are faster than linear popup menus.

Because they can’t be repeated enough.
