Show AX splash-screen on hotkey if missing access

[jannis-baum]

Hitting the Scrolla hotkey with missing AX permissions currently has the same behavior as hitting it when there are no scroll areas (see #3). It would probably help to have the AX splash-screen (that also appears when opening Scrolla without AX permissions) come forward in this scenario.

the hotkey is not set up as long as you don't grant the AX. so i guess what you did is grant, then ungrant. in that case the hotkey handler is not reset yeah. will think what's the best way to handle this. or bringing the Splash forward, or removing the handler. for Wooshy the handler should be removed (handling hotkeys differently).

yes! trying to be a software tester over here😂

yeah. similar with Wooshy. i didn't bother making this super tight. in Wooshy you can still call The Input, type, and highlight, but you can't reach because the event tap is disable. i didn't bother (yet?) coz that's quite a specific case. if someone does this they're looking for troubles 🥊️

Alright! Feel free to close if it's not relevant enough!

your idea is good tho. will implement. thanks!

ok now that i'm implementing this, i remember why i didn't implement it in the first place: that would require calling the API to check whether the AX process is trusted EACH TIME you press the hotkey. i don't wanna do that. i think i've read somewhere that it's heavy. that means it may slow down normal usage for just a case where people ungranted (how comes this word doesn't exist) the AX permissions while they're already using the app. also the menu icon will stay etc., so that would be another headache to handle.

what i could do tho, is remove the hotkey handler if the AX permissions are removed. in that case, the hotkey would just stop working altogether, until you grant again.

would that be a better UX than what we have now?

[jannis-baum]

If you can remove the hotkey handler when the AX permissions are removed, can't you just switch the hotkey handler to bring up the splash-screen instead of doing what it usually does?🙈

hmm ok. when i wrote the piece above i kinda felt there was some fault in my logic but was not sure where 🤔️ but i've had a big fat Indian dinner and i've finished with an ice cream (i never eat sweets) so i guess i'm forgiven?

[godbout]

it's also the way my AppDelegate/AppCore and all the setups are, well, set up, that makes it a bit difficult to see. anyways. a bit overwhelmed now 😂️ will find a way later. thanks!

[godbout]

done (i think lol)
