Feature request: Direct shortcut to single click etc. #1

Closed skobylite closed 5 years ago

skobylite commented 5 years ago

Loving this!

Feature request: Setting a keyboard shortcut to just bring up the yellow prompts immediately, bypassing command line would be ideal. e.g. in vimium, where F is set to bring up the prompts rather than going through command line, typing 'ce', enter.

So: a customisable keyboard shortcut for single click, right click, double click 👍.

Feature 2: Support for clicking on text fields to bring up the cursor.

This is already requested and WIP!

As a workaround, I'm using skhd with this macro:

alt - f : skhd -k "cmd + shift - space" && skhd -k "c" && skhd -k "e" && skhd -k "return"

This uses alt+f to activate single click

Use macros for now. The way you enter "commands" will probably change in future update(s) so I won't be implementing it now.

@BlueDrink9 - Could you explain this please?

@dexterleng : IMO the entire benefit of the app is to minimise time and keystrokes, so going through a sequence of keystrokes to single click simply makes the trackpad the faster solution and renders the app redundant

BlueDrink9 commented 5 years ago

Have you used skhd before?

skobylite commented 5 years ago

Thanks - Just had a look, seems too clever for me! Will see if I can get the sequence working on Bettertouchtool, if not will figure skhd out.

Agreed. I need to find a "flow" that is fast but at the same time allows you to do more than just left click, right click, and double click. I rather spend time working on the "flow' now instead of implementing the shortcuts since you can use a macro.

^ Makes sense - absolutely love this project and the work you've put into this so far! Looking forward to seeing how things grow

@skobylite v0.2.3 adds Focus mode, which let's you focus on text fields with hints. Is this what you requested for Feature 2?

Added! Now the controls are more like Vimium - hold SHIFT/CMD while typing the hint text to right/double click. Direct hotkeys to Hint and Scroll Mode.
