I presume this is related to the idea that, if you're holding a smartphone in your right hand, it's easier to access controls on the right and bottom sides, while top/left controls require either an uncomfortable reach or switching to using both hands? If so, I definitely sympathize with the concern, and think there's potential here. However, is there any way to actually detect this? I'm not familiar with whatever APIs might exist. I know that the OSK can be switched to a mode that favors one hand or the other by shifting slightly to one side, but I only ever activate that by accident. The big issue with new user-preference MQs is always going to be the actual detection. It can be the best idea in the world, but if no OS exposes that the user wants it (and the browser doesn't hack their own detection/preference-recording on top), we can't actually hang an MQ off of it. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/10244#issuecomment-2073371491 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
