Needs Win/Super key modifier #100

Open rbreaves opened 3 years ago

rbreaves commented 3 years ago

Love the program, just started using it and that shrink option is something I've wanted but didn't know was even possible. At any rate I use my Kinto app with this https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto and it appears to get confused a little bit. Detects the actual physical key instead of the mapped ones, but not a big deal - until I saw you only have Ctrl and Alt as mappable options. My Win key behaves as my Alt key in practically all cases and I would need Win/Super to be an option if I were to use my virtual Alt key.

As it stands now though when I run Kinto this app conflicts with my Ctrl based modifiers so simple things like like Ctrl-A to select all activates default actions in this app instead because it sees Alt-A.

You don't need to make it play nice with Kinto - it will do that already if it supports Win/Super.. however confusing it may be to some users lol.

This is not true. You can use Shift key also image

rbreaves commented 3 years ago

Shift is not the same type of modifier key as Ctrl, Alt, and Win. I was obviously referring to system level modifiers that are similar to function of each other as far as being on the bottom row and modifying system level behavior. I do not care about Shift, Caplock, scroll lock, etc.

And yes I would expect that you had support for Shift as it is commonly used for additional combo layers involving - system level modifier keys. Again I would love to use this application but only supporting 2 of the system level shortcut keys is an issue for me and potentially other users that make heavy use of all 3 modifier keys (aka professional mac users and developers).

@rbreaves The last system-level modifier is the Win key (The key that opens the start menu)? All you want is that it will support also the Win key right?

rbreaves commented 3 years ago

@gileli121 that is correct, I know it’s typically used for the start menu but I go through efforts to disable that start menu activation & other win key combos & I replace them w/ my own.

why I’d find it useful, so I can leverage that key still w/ Window top. I align many hotkeys w/ macs as much as I can.

gileli121 commented 3 years ago

OK, I will implement it in v5.6 or v5.7

My use case is to have Ctrl as second modifier key.

I tried to set Ctrl+Alt+A as hotkey for "Set Click-Through mode for the currently active window", but the box did not accept Ctrl.

I am running Version v5.7.7.
