Problem Statement

In Programmer mode, the bitwise operations have all been moved under the "Bitwise" flyout. This doubles the number of clicks and introduces more mouse movement to perform the same operation when compared to previous versions. In addition, the likely seldom used percent operation remains as a first class operation and the MOD operation was removed entirely. The AND, OR and XOR operations are highly used in this mode and should be returned to first class GUI elements.

The Bitwise flyout as currently implemented reduces productivity when working with logical number operations which is a primary use case for programmer mode.

Evidence or User Insights

All bitwise operations now require 2 mouse clicks and a mouse over to complete when not using the keyboard. Seldom used operations, like percent, remain and the MOD function was removed entirely.

Proposal

Return the Bitwise operations to the primary button layout to reduce the number of mouse clicks required to accomplish frequent operations.

Goals

Returning the Bitwise operations to the primary layout will improve operation efficiency by removing a mouse click and mouse over that are now required.

Returning the MOD operation will bring back functionality that was removed.

Non-Goals

Low-Fidelity Concept

Add the Bitwise operations as an additional column or row. Potentially replace lesser used operations (like percent).

Requested Assignment

I'm just suggesting this idea. I don't want to implement it.
