Comment on Should a toggle button show its current state or the state to which it will change?
DmMacniel@feddit.de 10 months agooh yeah true, I was thinking of toggle buttons instead of buttons that keep their state/don’t release: like the formatting buttons (bold, italic, underline, …) in a word processor.

Yeah, the wording isn’t clear, and some people are talking about switches and some people are talking about buttons. I work with MAUI, and in MAUI a “ToggleButton” is called a Switch, so there’s no confusion there, but the OP specifically said a button which toggles. i.e. a button which has 2 states instead of just one. A play button which turns into a pause button when you press it and vice-versa. I think the OP may have been confused between switches and buttons themselves - which are indeed labelled in opposite ways to each other (switch - current state, button - state that it will cause to happen when pressed) - which led to the question.
