[Feature Request] System Shortcut Bypass #64

Open Code-Garvi opened 2 years ago

Code-Garvi commented 2 years ago

So I tries to create a pie menu for the windows key but then I realized that all my windows shortcuts are now useless unless i recreate a submenu for all the shortcuts that I use with the windows key. And so it would be very helpful if we could use our shortcut combinations, So the algorithm would be like this:

win button pressed and held pie menu appears other combination key pressed pie menu disappears and shortcut is executed

This makes sense to me being that it's such an accessible key. I'll see if this can be done. In the meantime, capslock and tilde are also decent keys to sacrifice.

This could also be solved with a different activation mode, let's call it 'On Move', where the menu only opens when the mouse moves a set number of pixels while the key's held, and if the key is released without this being the case, the original hotkey is executed. I use this all the time in Blender with Pie Menu Editor, so I can re-use existing hotkeys! I want to use it here to create an alternative to the right mouse context menu in Firefox, without taking away access to the original
