add click functionality #26

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

I know it seems somewhat counterintuitive to the spirit of this project vs easy-move-resize, but adding a "require click" functionality would be wonderful.

I could use easy-move-resize, but I much prefer hummingbird's ability to have different shortcuts for move and resize (option for move, shift+option for resize) which the original project lacks.

really looking for a best of both worlds!

Hah, we're coming full circle! :)

Originally, HB's functionality was a PR on easy-move-resize to add "hover style" move and resize. However, I didn't manage within a reasonable amount of time to make both modes work well together in @dmarcotte 's code base (not for any fault of Daniel's code, just my lack of time and understanding of the intricacies). Daniel and I agreed that it's best to not even try and merge it in and instead keep a fork. My fork of EMR then became HB.

Leaving aside the feasability for now (I suspect it shouldn't be too difficult to add mouse clicks as another trigger criterion to HB - but then again, I failed at this once before 😆), given the history of the two projects, I wouldn't want to even explore that unless @dmarcotte has confirmed it not being a use case he wants to support.

Have you had a look over in the EMR project to see if there's interest for this use case?

Yeah that’s really the next step. I’ll poke around over there and see how he feels about things.

Appreciate the response :)

left a comment over on EMR, but project looks largely abandoned.

happy to close out this issue if you don't intend to implement clicks - no reason to leave it kicking about :)

Thanks again for raising the issue - closing this now as part of some housekeeping :)

@finestructure Hi sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I'm also after the click-button-drag behaviour and upon trying EMR and Hummingbird found that the latter is much smoother for both moving and resizing. Any idea why that is?

finestructure commented 3 years ago

Mmm, that's puzzling, because the core functionality is pretty much the same, except I've ported it to Swift. I might have tweaked some parameters a little but haven't personally found them to make much of a difference.

For instance in version 3.1.1 I changed some parameters and in 3.1.3 I reverted them back. If you find these versions to behave differently for you then perhaps there is indeed an effect that I perhaps just didn't see on my Mac.
