		<description>Hi Ronny. About your comment: &quot;And I don&#039;t agree about advertising those features to the users using banners, default tooltips and such - This is poor usability.&quot; Isn&#039;t the option for left clickable items already being advertised in all web browsers with a cursor change? I&#039;m simply suggesting subtle use cues or affordances that can be learned and which extend the traditional left click to other advanced interactions which aren&#039;t yet visible.  </description>

		<description>Interesting :-) 
However - Left-clickable and scrollable are useless. 
Right click and double click are indeed barely discoverable for most users, and for that reason considered bad practice - I don&#039;t agree, and think such explorations are a must if we want to be able to create rich web applications. A context menu is a huge benefit in desktop applications, so we should be eager to implement it on the web. 
 
But like Michael said, a typical context menu would work almost anywhere in the page, so the icon again becomes kinda useless. And I don&#039;t agree about advertising those features to the users using banners, default tooltips and such - This is poor usability. 
 
We need to continue thinking about this solution. It is a step in the right direction, but there are more steps to be made. </description>

		<description>Very interesting.  Would love to see some test data around this.  I think it might need some refinement, but the concept is definitely intriguing.  We do need better ways of cueing users.  Some might argue that you shouldn&#039;t need it, and touch usability sort of supports that idea I think.  Which leads me to the question....what about touch? </description>

		<description>Hi Stefan, 
 
All good points. I wonder if taking this to the browser level in the form of a plugin might be another option. More advanced users might then potentially disable this, or it might get automatically disabled on its own for sites that are visited frequently (where the interactions are already learned). Taking it to the OS level would probably be better, but might require more negotiation? </description>

		<description>Agreed that the buttons could be stronger and more intuitive. Not sure if there would be a case though where all the actions are enabled. If they were, then you&#039;re right, it might be a bit of an information overload case. Thanks for the feedback! </description>

		<description>That&#039;s an interesting take on the whole concept as well! </description>

		<description>Maitika. I like the comment around the potential of this becoming annoying. It makes me wonder if A) a more subtle solution could make this work better, or B) a solution that diminishes in visual strength over time as the user learns certain actions behind the interface. Another idea for implementing this could be C) where this becomes a setting or plugin in the browser (possibly enabled for new pages that you visit and still need hand holding). Anyone from Mozilla reading this, or know how to build Firefox plugins? :)  
  
And I am also liking the idea of using a real mouse symbol to convey these actions. Could be more intuitive. Agreed. </description>

		<description>Feels a bit too me like leaving it up to the car to tell you when to put the brakes on instead of just learning to do it instinctually. 
 
Wireframing - that&#039;s a better idea for application I think. </description>

		<description>I would argee with most of the comments before. It could be annoyng for the user to see these Icons all the time. And I think Henrique is right: a clickable button should look like a clickable button. 
 
But in my opinion there is another use for this idea: its ideal for Wireframe-Dummies or, like said before, tutorials. If you have to to show a customer, how his application or website will function when ist ready, these mouse-icons are a good way to do that - even if there is no degin in the wireframes, like it should be. 
 
So I agree with Pierre Foucart: Show this idea to the Axure development team! I&#039;m not yet using this wireframe-tool, but I am looking foward to use it, just waiting for my boss to buy it... </description>
