Feature Request: arbitrary keymapping #6

Open jcahill opened 9 years ago

Feature Request

Arbitrary keymapping.

Rationale

System-, browser-, extension-, and user-defined key combinations really pile up over time. Type of user who actively goes looking for UX tweaks like what Key-ncognito provides often has several hotkey combos already tied up in customization- and productivity-related software.

Extending the set of available inputs for Key-ncognito's basic key combination (or combination(s), if my previous feature request goes anywhere) would go a long way toward avoiding conflicts, especially with third-parties that love to hog the main modifier keys and don't allow user configuration.

Thanks for your interest and feature request. :)

Currently, key-ncognito allows for Meta (Alt), Super (Command), Shift and Ctrl to be used in any combination along with a click (modulo System overridden combinations one can test for on the settings page itself). Which other key(s) did you have in mind?

I saw the Linkclump extension you alluded to in #5 and saw that they allow key-mapping with literally any key ([0-9a-z]) pressed on the keyboard during selection as a trigger. Is that what you meant here?

Personally, I use Vimium and, hence, most of the keys on my keyboard already have bound meanings. Hence, I haven't really ever considered using any of those keys as modifiers but I can see merit in the approach.
