Application Conflict #37

Closed ElectricPrism closed 6 years ago

ElectricPrism commented 6 years ago

This is such a helpful and amazing tool I want to see it interface out of box with as many applications as possible.

I noticed it doesn't work on Firefox-Nightly, Thunderbird-Nightly, it works with GIMP-GTK3 branch however a keybinding for GIMP needs to be unset (Is it possible to supersede application keybindings?) I guess it doesn't work in LibreOffice (Which is a shame because the menu must have at least 150+ entries that are hard to navigate)

I am wondering what would need to be done to break down these barriers for wider usage.

Those applications don't use GTK+ widgets, so there's nothing I can do about that.

Overriding application keybindings sounds like a bad idea. Plotinus is an optional enhancement, over which application logic should always take precedence, otherwise some applications might not work correctly anymore.

Yes, it does! (Assuming you are running a GTK+ 3.0 build.)

For me, LibreOffice also doesn't work. It's built with gtk3 and running on NixOS.
