Feature Request: Hard Button QR Scanning
Here are my two proposals for Ubuntu Touch to make QR fun again:
-
some kind of 'combo button move' on the phones hardware which means "i'm taking a picture of a QR code'. Like how you hold the volume and power to get bootloader or press both volume buttons to get a screenshot... So, when you do this button combo the phone starts up right away in QR code mode ready to focus, take the scan, and take you to the link
-
In camera mode, when you focus (touch the screen) as we do for a regular photo now, the camera identifies that a QR code is in in the picture (or perhaps you can choose it from the options where the flash on/off stuff is if that's too hard) and automatically focuses on it and takes you to the website after taking a picture.
Thanks!
