Re: Settings and More (Alt+F) Surface Pen
RedBeta Thanks for the tip on the virtual touch-pad. I forgot about that, and it's sitting in the taskbar waiting on me to use it. Cumbersome though, but helps in a pinch. I've not been using the favorites toolbar, because on an 8" screen I need all the real estate I can get. You might want to check my solution I posted above. Hope it helps. I set up a series of favorites to let me access what I need under that menu. Will still need to use the virtual touchpad when I need to install an app, but those are, for the most part, already set up.2.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Settings and More (Alt+F) Surface Pen
P1000 I have found a workaround to allow me to access my favorites and most other items that one would access regularly through that 3-dot menu. I installed a plug-in from the Chrome store called Quick Bookmarks Menu. Right-click or long-press on the icon in the toolbar to set it up. I set the following: 1. Open Bookmarks in: New Tab (Other options are "current tab" and "background.) 2. Folder Hover Enter: Off (can be set from slow to fast, which is for opening the folders for hovering with the mouse. For pen or touch, it should be off.) Once that's done, set up the following bookmarks in a new bookmarks folder called "Edge Menu Items." I added the following bookmarks: edge://settings edge://favorites edge://downloads edge://history edge://extensions edge://apps edge://settings/help (About Microsoft Edge) The last one helps me make sure I'm on the latest build. This has made Edge Canary usable for me. Hope it helps someone else.2.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Feature request: Open a Favorite in a New Tab Automatically
lugovykh There is no touchpad. There is no keyboard. There is no mouse. Only a screen. This is a stand-alone tablet. 8" Windows stand-alone tablet. Yes, I can connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse if I want, but it defeats the purpose of sitting in my recliner lightly browsing the internet with an 8" tablet in my hand. It's supposed to be easy and care-free, not cumbersome. I am currently using an extension from the Chrome Store that allows me to function. It's called Quick Bookmarks Menu. I have to because I can't even access the 3-dot menu by touch right now, as it is broken in the current Canary build. Forced to use a mouse when needing to access the menu. That has been reported separately. I'm not complaining about it, just wanting to make sure needed features make it into the final product for everyone to make this the best browser ever. Even with the small faults, it's already my favorite by far and I have uninstalled all other browsers except regular edge. But I digress. Just know, a left-click and/or short tap by finger is a needed option if it is to be a touch-friendly browser. In today's world, touch-friendly is a must.12KViews1like0CommentsRe: Settings and More (Alt+F) Surface Pen
P1000 When typing in the address bar, I am unable to tap a suggested completion. Instead of selecting that completion, it will just go to what I have typed so far, which is still incomplete. I can't remember what else at the moment. I was late getting somewhere and didn't have time to write it down. As I rediscover, if I rediscover before fixed, I'll put the bug report in through the app's feedback as I did the other.

Drew1903 Doesn't really help those of us who don't always have a mouse with us. When I'm on my laptop, I have my mouse. When using my tablet, there's no keyboard or mouse. I need to be able to tap and open in a new tab without the hassle of a long press and additional tap. Option is still needed, not a work-around on how to do it with a wheeled mouse. Not everyone is at a desktop all the time, and Edge needs to meet everyone's needs. It's why I'm testing with different hardware from most testers.12KViews2likes8CommentsRe: Settings and More (Alt+F) Surface Pen
P1000 I have a similar issue, but it's with touch, not pen. I have a touch screen with no pen input capability, and I am unable to open the menu or do several other functions by touch. This is an 8" tablet, and I have to haul out a mouse when using Edge Canary right now, which kind of defeats the purpose of having the small tablet.2.6KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Ctrl + F Arrows up and down are hard to see in dark mode
NicolSD They will brighten a bit once you start to type into the box if anything is found. That's my experience. They appear to be greyed out until something is found, and while greyed out they are indeed more difficult to see. I don't see that being a problem as long as they are readily visible when something has been found. My 2 cents, whether worth a full 2 cents or not.1.4KViews0likes1Comment
