[Feature request] Detect when inside a text field #3578

Open eugenesvk opened 1 year ago

eugenesvk commented 1 year ago

(duplicate of https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements/issues/1549 https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements/issues/2126 that were closed by an evil stale bot)

Would it be possible to add a detection mechanisms for text fields? For example, I want ⌘+← or ⌘+→ to go to a previous/next tab in my file/web browser, however, when I'm in a text field (e.g. typing in a search bar or renaming a file) I'd like these combinations to go to the beginning/end of a text string. So, I'd need to pass two different key combinations depending on whether I'm editing a text field or not. Thank you!

hi, you can use complex modification rules that use command+up arrow for home and command+down arrow for end.

Home to Command up arrow

            ],
            "type": "basic"
        }
    ]
}

and this would work like the beginning and end of a page, respectively.

Bump this up!

I wrote an AutoHotKey script that finds the current location of the typing caret compared to the expected x,y coordinate location of the Google Chrome address-bar/omnibox.

Otherwise, especially on MacOS, I too am stumped on being able to setup a boolean value defining whether or not any text field, in Google Chrome or not, is currently focussed; being able to perform the text field focus boolean check would greatly benefit my keyboard movement.
