Hi there! Thanks for the suggestion, however I am not sure about this.
If I understand you right, the first variant would mean that I have to release all keys after opening the menu, then press a modifier again, and then the next key release in the root's center would dismiss the menu? If so, I think this is not very intuitive and wouldn't help in most cases.
The second variant could work, I guess. Yet it really would be an advanced feature.
Ye, I love this feature in new kando
For the first variant I believe you understood correctly I'll admit I wasn't really considering the use of multiple keys as the menu shortcut, I think you're right that it might feel weird/not-intuitive with modifiers. But if you use one key as I do(ex. F1-F12, etc.) then I think it's pretty intuitive.
To clarify assume a setting called something like "dismissTimeout" set to 50 ms
A) {F1 Down}
{40ms}
{F1 Up}
= Shows menu on {F1 Down}
and remains on menu to use Point-and-Click/Marking-Mode
B) {F1 Down}
{80ms}
{F1 Up}
= Shows menu on {F1 Down}
but dismisses after if mouse cursor is on root center after {F1 Up}
.
If the menu is already showing you can then dismiss it after with another (A) or go into turbo mode with (B) if held longer
Description
Given that a big aspect of using turbo-mode is to not need to use the mouse click, it would be nice to be able to hide/dismiss a menu by releasing the activation hotkey. I know that the escape key also works to dismiss as well but I think releasing the hotkey is more intuitive.
If implemented I see 2 potential methods:
I would personally prefer implementation 2 but can see that implementation 1 is more appealing if you like to use more than 1 activation method.
