Hold and Double Tap Actions for the Heading Card and Entities in the Heading Card

[kxs-exe]

As I am trying to rebuilt my Main Dashboard with Sections, i noticed that for the Heading Card and the Entities within you can only set a Tap Action. In my Main Dashboard I use a layout-card in combination with Mushroom Title and Mushroom Chips Card to achieve the same thing as the Heading Card. But within the Mushroom Chips Card you can define Actions for Tap, Hold and Double Tap. I think adding these Actions to the Heading Card and the Entites within would be a great addition for the Card.

I fully support this proposal !

Generally, we do not advise adding interactions for Heading entities since their style doesn't imply that they can be clickable (please remember that your homes also have secondary users that weren't present when your dashboard was created), and their size isn't optimized for click or touch interactions.

I tend to partially disagree with that statement.

Especially the fact that there is a small chevron close to the heading card when the tap action is defined especially to make it clear that it is clickable...

This card can be very versatile, and thus adding a little bit more versatility would be even better. I personally really like the hold action to avoid spurious click when swiping.

This card can be a very nice shortcut to (sub-)view navigation for example in its primarily usage that you describe:
In this case it can be a mandatory way to navigate between "area oriented", "function oriented" or "device oriented" views.

But there are many different usage for this card, like compact lists:

Not even mentioning that for specific purposes you can build ultra-compact dashboards entirely relying on them:
