Feature: Make Hotkeys configuration able to send keystrokes to currently active terminal. #2611

Open Lockszmith-GH opened 4 years ago

Lockszmith-GH commented 4 years ago

Currently, mapping of keys is only about interacting with Terminus - the application.

I would like the ability to map a certain keyboard command to transfer a specific keyboard, or even a macro of keyboard sequence to the active terminal.

This way, even if a certain combination might be captured by Terminus, I could program an alternative to pass it.

An example of why I thought about it: I have the following sequence mapped to switch terminal windows: Ctrl+X This in turn captures Ctrl+X, preventing the terminal to capture it. I would like to map Ctrl+X,Ctrl+X (hitting it twice) to be mapped to a single Ctrl+X in the terminal.

This can probably be an optional addon.

Hope this is found as a useful idea and someone will implement it.

Thanks for the suggestion, cool plugin indeed, might be what I'm looking for.

I just installed it, and indeed it looks like an option - unfortunately though, plugin has been abandoned ~5 months ago, and all forks seem to be PRs only, no maintainers (no issues section).

Any idea how can keyboard commands (like ctrl / alt / meta) be sent with this?

It's ok if no answer, as you are obviously not the creator of this one.

(Thanks again, for making this awesome application, it's hands down the best)
