Magnolia should let me navigate and browse my web site structure by using a mouse, a keyboard and using a touch device. It should be easy and quick to find a particular page without having to work myself down the hierarchy.
Description of desired behavior
Browsing the structure
Browsing the tree view showing the web site structure in pretty much handled elsewhere (see Basic usage/Navigating trees).
Browsing as a list
Quickly find a page
Show, hide and rearrange table columns
...
When using the keyboard, the column order and the hide/show settings of a column must be specified on a separate settings page still to be defined.
Requirements
Both input methods (mouse and keyboard) must be largely equivalent, mainly for accessibility reasons. But using the keyboard must also be regarded as the input method of choice for power users and thus must be fast and convenient for typical day-to-day operations.
The tree view must perform well even for very large sites. To achieve this, pages should only be loaded as they become visible. A visual indicator must make clear that additional data is being loaded from the network.
Likewise, items of a folder page (see "opening, closing folder pages" above), which will become visible by opening it, could already be preloaded in the background.
