Action: Select the Column
What’s the user’s goal, and why?
- They want to indicate which column to format.
Is the action obviously available?
- Drag-select should be known to an experienced user. (Note: the alternative of clicking the “hot” area at the top of the column is not obvious!)
Does the action or label match the goal?
- No label here, but the action’s effect should be known by experienced users.
- However, another action also matches: putting the cursor in the column (which is what you would do to format a paragraph).
Is there good feedback?
- Yes, column itself (rectangle) highlights.
