[Feature] EasyClick to work on *all visible apps* and not just app in focus

[gilbh]

This would be similar to GridMove and will allow to send a command (or do something) even when the app is not the one in focus.

It can be implemented, but it will take quite a bit of scanning time. Please try running EasyClick with a few/many cells displayed in MS Office Excel. It will take a tremendous amount of time as the number increases.

Therefore, we cannot achieve this feature.

[gilbh]

I ran Excel and clicked EasyClick. The labels appears almost instantaneously. I wish I could show you this via the Video Capture feature, but vind's labels are not visible in the video recording. I would estimate it in about 200ms (for hundreds of labels, one for each cell, etc.). Maybe the scanning time changes radically according to hardware and software features.

But I am not underestimating your concern. Perhaps you would consider creating a separate command (EasyClickAll) so to leave the option of using this slower function ... ? I think it would be amazing to be able to control everything visible, even if slower response, and leave that choice to the user according to how "busy" the open apps are at a given moment.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!

hi, I am not using Excel but i use multiple apps (tiled with a windwos manager) so that would be nice to have the hint for al lthe visible apps in the screen.

@gilbh @azinsharaf For now, we will try to implement it and then benchmark it.

I added it to the taskboard. https://github.com/users/pit-ray/projects/2/views/3?filterQuery=-status%3ADone-status%3ADone%2CCanceled%2CDone&pane=issue&itemId=35722208

@gilbh @azinsharaf I implement <easyclick_all> to work on all visible applications. <easyclick_all> is binded with AA, Ao, Aa, Am and Ah in GUI normal mode, which is based on <easyclick>. Please try this build and give me feedbacks.

据我所见，这效果太棒了！

Sorry to bother you! Can you tell me how to use it? I just set up map fg and it seems that it recognizes some more programs than the original one. This is the default ctrl+[ in edit mode, but how do I open the selected program? Switch to gui mode ctrl+]?

[gilbh]

Not sure I understand the problem ... as far as I understand there is no need to open or switch: when you click the specific letters sequence it will switch automatically.

Released in v5.4.0

Forgive me for continuing to reply below this. I also think this improvement is great. But I don't know why, all I see on my side is the mouse moves. But the program cannot be opened directly. Is there something wrong with my configuration? I recorded a video. I am using the win11 enterprise personal modification system. I can open the program directly after configuring FF, but I can only see that it has moved to the target position and cannot open it in my of FG.

不确定我是否理解这个问题......据我所知，不需要打开或切换：当您单击特定的字母序列时，它会自动切换。

thanks!

@shuen2023 Thanks for asking about that. If I catch your question correctly, you should add <click_left> after <easyclick_all>.

map fg <easyclick_all><click_left>

Very confusingly, the easyclick itself does not have a click function.

Previously, there are the easyclick families, such as <easy_click_left> or <easy_click_right>. However, this specification is redundant, so they have been unified to <easyclick> since 5.1.0. For compatibility, the name <easyclick> contains the word click, but it does not perform a click, as does the previous <easy_click_hover>.

Thanks.
