You know how when you have to choose how many of a stack of Sammiches* you want to eat (or donate, or whatever) you get a menu that has a limited number of choices? That has been the cause of some frustration for quite a while for many people, and we've had lots of requests to provide the ability to enter an exact number. Well guess what? ... Yes! You're right! We did it!
Now, when you get a menu asking you to choose a quantity, and there are more than 5 items in the stack, you'll have buttons to choose "all", "just one" or "none" and an input field to enter a number (pre-populated with a value that is half the stack size).
A few tips on how to use it:
• You can start typing a number as soon as the menu comes up. Fast!
• You can use the right arrow key to move focus to the input, and then use the UP and DOWN arrows to change the quantity.
• You can also use the + and - buttons on either side of the input field to change the quantity.
• Hit the ENTER key while the input field is selected to submit the value!
(One possible issue we're aware of is that there is no way to click to submit a custom quantity. You have to hit the ENTER key. We'll see how much of a frustration this is for people before we decide if we want to provide a click-to-submit affordance.)
Enjoy!
* Feature not limited to Sammiches
UPDATE: We gave you a button to click on!
