Convenient hotkeys #56

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
There should be some convenient hotkeys.

r482 added "Command-." hotkey for the Call End, "Command-M" for Mute, and 
"Command-H" for Hold.

r585 removes new hotkeys for Hold and Mute and reverts to the old H and M. 
There should be buttons for these 
actions instead.

r645 added Command-Return key equivalent for the Answer call button and 
Command-. key equivalent for the 
Decline call button.

There really should be hot keys for this application:

Answer
Hangup
New Call
Hold
Mute

Answer is Command-Return
Hangup is Command-.
Hold is H (but probably will be changed)
Mute is M (but probably will be changed)

Would it be possible to have a universal hot key for Answer that would work 
even when Telephone is not the 
frontmost application?

Yes, I'm also thinking about it.

Issue 269 has been merged into this issue.

I'd be interested in tackling this issue, as it seems useful and blocks 
improvements for other parts of the app (letters to DTMF conversion, for 
example). I see two improvements that should go hand in hand here:

(1) Change letter hotkeys to letter+modifier hotkeys 
(2) Allow global hotkeys

I think (1) is simple, as the .nib file could be changed.

(2) is complicated by the fact that previous to 10.6, a carbon api has 
available, but with 10.6 we have a cocoa api for global events. I'm sure that 
you are not keen on dropping support for 10.5, so perhaps coding in support for 
both is appropriate?

With your permission, i'll tackle this and submit a patch.

Yes, I've been thinking about (1), but I think it's even more important to show 
buttons for mute and hold. Only after that I can think of changing the 
shortcuts that were in Telephone since day one.

I don't see any true official way to implement global shortcuts. One of them is 
almost dead and another doesn't work without accessibility support. I heard one 
can assign any global shortcut to any Mac OS X app using third-party apps.
