dualbutton

dualbutton refers to a user interface element that consolidates two distinct but related actions into a single button. The primary purpose of a dualbutton is to simplify the user experience by reducing clutter and offering a more intuitive way to interact with software or web applications. Typically, a dualbutton presents two visual cues or text labels indicating the separate functions it performs. When a user interacts with the dualbutton, they are presented with a clear mechanism to choose which of the two actions they wish to execute. This might involve a hover state that reveals the second option, a long-press gesture, or a small dropdown menu that appears upon clicking. The design aims to prevent accidental activation of one function while making the other readily accessible. Examples of dualbuttons can be found in various contexts, such as saving and "save as" options combined, or accepting and declining a prompt. By merging related functionalities, dualbuttons contribute to a cleaner and more efficient user interface design.
