Config #7

Closed mikef-nl closed 4 years ago

mikef-nl commented 4 years ago

Could be nice to have it configurable via a json file for: Hotkeys Timer for the dropdown

Alessandro-D commented 4 years ago

Indeed, especially for changing the main hotkey. Is there any way to do that right now?

flyingpie commented 4 years ago

@Alessandro-D Not yet, but definitely a good idea. I'll try to whip something up today.

sanconley commented 4 years ago

Any update on this?

ukWaqas commented 4 years ago

Two main features that should be customisable:

  1. Semi transparent,
  2. Come down half the screen
mikef-nl commented 4 years ago

Looks like someone already got that far https://github.com/flyingpie/windows-terminal-quake/pull/8

Today, LOL

Looks like some MIB kidnapped him

Everyone has too little time and too much to do. Things happen 😄

flyingpie commented 4 years ago

So I was full-on taken by the MIB. Good news is that I don't need a colonoscopy any time soon.

Pre release v0.4 adds a settings file with:

Please let me know if this is to your liking and whether you have any suggestions/encounter bugs.

Do hotkeys need a modifier? Is it expect to work if I want to have the toggling feature on e.g. F8?

nstrelow commented 4 years ago

OR F1

Would be nice to have an option to only set one key.

Croydon commented 4 years ago

Actually, it works for me

My mistake previously was that I put it into a subdirectory of the programs directory which requires admin rights. Executing quake withOUT admin rights in such a path causes then that it can't read the config (which was also written with admin rights)

Very tiny potential improvement: When quake shows the hotkey in the notification it shows 0+F8 when it is just F8

nstrelow commented 4 years ago

how did you set it to only one key?

Croydon commented 4 years ago

Do something like

{
    // The keys that can be used to toggle the terminal
    "HotKeys": [
        {
                     "Key": "F8"
        }
    ],

@ukWaqas I'm continuing the transparency part in #11

There is a pre-release here: https://github.com/flyingpie/windows-terminal-quake/releases/tag/v0.5
