{edited to rename interesttarget --> interestfor}
The explainer for interestfor proposes four new pseudo classes:
:has-interest - matches on the invoker when the user is currently showing interest in that invoker.:has-partial-interest - matches on the invoker when the user is currently showing partial interest in that invoker. (They have merely focused the invoker, but haven't fully-activated it via the hot-key.):target-of-interest - matches on the target of the invoker when the user is showing interest in the invoker for this target.:target-of-partial-interest - matches on the target of the invoker when the user is showing partial interest in the invoker for this target.
To hopefully help with the terminology:
<button interestfor=foo>The *invoker*</button>
<div popover id=foo>The *target* of the invoker</div>
A few notes:
- It felt slightly easier to understand if
:has-interest means "has any kind of interest" (including partial), and :has-partial-interest means "specifically only has partial interest". But suggestions appreciated.
- @dbaron pointed out that these names are kind of ambiguous, and also that there is actually a third permutation (match on the invoker but describe the target) but I’m not sure there are use cases for that third set, so I'm not proposing it at this point.
- As always, the names need bikeshedding. E.g.
:has-interest or just :interest? And target-of-interest is somewhat descriptive but still leaves something to be desired. Maybe it’s ok.
Thoughts?
