the scroll gesture on the Magic Mouse 2.
It’d also be nice to have a way to easily
turn off the AssistiveTouch menu when
you’re done using the mouse. Some users
make their own Shortcuts that show up in
the homepage’s widget section, but iPad
mouse support has been so widely
embraced that Apple should just include a
shutoff switch as a Control Center shortcut.
BETTER MULTITASKING
Apple introduced some great
improvements to multitasking in
iOS 13, but I’d like to see even more.
The biggest change I’d like to see is
the ability to use Split View multitasking
with apps that aren’t on the dock. Apple
could probably allow
this by including the
option in a quick
action menu when
you hold down your
finger on an app.
I’d also be happy
if Apple could find a
way to force an app
into Split View even if
the app doesn’t
officially support it.
Apple could probably
do this by using an
app’s iPhone
interface. As it is, you
basically have to
experiment to see if an app supports Split
View, and some apps even temporarily lose
support after Apple drops a big patch.
And here’s a largely personal
suggestion: Let us align Split View
windows on top of each other rather than
side by side. I personally get a lot more
done with that kind of setup, and it’s even
how I have my external monitor aligned
with my MacBook in the office.
BETTER SUPPORT FOR
EXTERNAL DISPLAYS
Multitasking isn’t just about
shuffling around apps on a screen.
Sometimes you want to work on two
screens—or at least a bigger one.
I’d like to use Split View multitasking with apps that aren’t on the dock.
