[Feature Request] Mute when typing text #42

Open rickyweb opened 3 years ago

rickyweb commented 3 years ago

I have an application that uses plain letters as shortcuts. But the application is also needed to input text. When recording a screencast this text input is quite annoying, when appearing on screen.

Can you implement an option that recognizes the difference of simple key strokes and text input? Maybe by defining a minimum time between two single key strokes? for example if set to 500ms, you could see the plain letters used as shortcuts, but not text typed.

Hi @rickyweb! This is possible to do by creating a keymap for your app in the Carnac directory, and in the Carnac app, checking off "limit to keymaps".

I posted a repo on Github for an app I use called Kdenlive: https://github.com/candideu/kdenlive-keymap. Feel free to duplicate it to create one for the app you use. Make sure to change the text after "process" to the name of the .exe of your program, and to save the actual file in your keymaps folder.
