Consistent Pointer Cancellation
Summary in Plain English
How a pointer action is cancelled stays the same for each type of interaction across a set of pages, unless a difference is essential.
Why It Matters
Cancelling an accidental press is a skill users learn once. Changing the rule between pages means accidental activations stick.
Scope: When This Applies
The draft's own conditions, quoted from guidelines/groups/input-operation/pointer-input/consistent-pointer-cancellation.md.
Except when
- It is essential to be different.
Notes in the draft
Where it is essential to be different, it can be helpful to alert the user.
