Custom notification & clipboard delay #103

Open ikelso opened 4 years ago

ikelso commented 4 years ago

Use case

Sometimes the buffer in live search manager takes too long to copy to the clipboard. It seems there's an internal queue with a fixed delay of a few seconds. This results in me whispering the same message a second time when I'm getting 2 search updates, instead of whispering 2 separate messages, unless I wait a few seconds

Possible solution(s)

Within the settings pane of the application, allow a parameterized delay for copying to the clipboard. Keeping a default of the current delay, but allowing users to adjust up or down according to their own preference.

The clipboard should be synced up with the notifications you see. The issue here is that we cannot control the length of windows notifications. If we added this option it would be in general very confusing to have a different whisper sent than what is displayed in the notification.

We were looking at this problem for a while initially but couldn't solve it. I'll keep this issue around, perhaps Windows will be more permissive at some point.

I don't know if I'm alone, but I don't have notifications turned on at all. I have a second monitor and can see when a new result comes in and I'm ready in game to paste. Perhaps an option to disable windows notifications that allows the configurable clipboard delay?

That's definitely an option, thanks.

Theoretically if you have a curated list (which might be easier with #44 implemented) I feel I can trust when it pings. An option to remove windows notifications + add a sound when a new result pops up would be great for how I use the tool.
If I see a notification and I go "oh no, not this one", then I just remove it rather than keep it.

Especially now with a 20 limit on poe.sale keeping a curated list becomes more important.
