Help for Gesturefy message to open SSS popup #237

Closed kiyn closed 2 years ago

kiyn commented 2 years ago

Could anyone help me find the correct message to put in Gesturefy so that the Swift Selection Search popup is correctly opened?

Here is the gesturefy reference: https://github.com/Robbendebiene/Gesturefy/wiki/Send-message-to-other-addon

Thanks!

Hi! Late reply from me, but since SSS is not currently being developed I tend to not come here as often unless there's any severe problem. :)

To answer your request, as far as I understand, SSS would have to implement the Gesturefy API for this to work:

(...) which then can be used to run other add-ons functionality, if the add-on supports it

So I don't think there's currently a way for you to configure things to open the SSS popup. Sorry!

Thank you very much for answering me even if the addon is not being developed anymore and thanks for your great work.

You're welcome! Thank you for your kind words :)

Just a thought as I don't currently use Gesturefy... can Gesturefy be configured to simulate the pressing of the user-definable shortcut key combination that opens the SSS popup?

Unfortunately that is not possible:

Bummer! Maybe someday. :)
