Pointer & touch
Pointer
- Hover reveals secondary affordances (row actions, tooltips), never the only path to a function.
- Tooltips appear after ~300ms and disappear on interaction; they hold short clarifications, not instructions.
- Double-click opens in file contexts; single-click selects. In web-style lists (store cards), single click activates.
- Right-click opens a context menu containing the row's plausible actions, including the destructive ones (with confirmation downstream).
- Drag and drop: move within collections, copy with Ctrl; drop targets highlight; Esc cancels a drag.
Touch
Parch targets desktop first, but Plasma mobile and touchscreen laptops exist:
- Hit targets ≥ 44px on touch-active surfaces.
- Hover-dependent functionality has a tap equivalent (long-press opens the context menu).
- No hover-only disclosures on primary flows.
Cursor discipline
Use correct cursors: text over text, pointer over links, default elsewhere. Custom cursors are not part of the design language.
