New customizable shortcuts.

[meteos77]

Can you please add, in the customizable shortcuts options to access the features : 1 - Help/Documentation/French and Help/Documentation/English (F1) 2 - Batch Activities / Borrow (F2) 3 - Batch Activities / Discover (F3) 4 - Batch Activities / Return (F4) 5 - Book Search (F9) 5 - Custom Query (F12)

Use of function keys for essential BiblioteQ features would be a plus.

Thank you in advance

Custom query is complete, right? The only simple one would be the book search because that's on the main window. The other ones are huge and here's why. Retrieving an application's shortcuts is difficult if not impossible. Some items are inaccessible so their shortcuts are inaccessible. Items are menus and actions and widgets and shortcuts. Then there is the thing that Batch Activities is somewhat independent of the main window so it would require a separate mechanism to display shortcuts in Other Options. If not, that panel would serve two independent panels while retaining clarity. I don't like this idea of custom shortcuts because the best solution is a separate super-intelligent class that possesses a model / view interface and behaves as an oracle. That is, it knows all shortcuts and thus may modify them. Then there is the thing with recording this information in a file. Yup, it's huge. The amount of work is much for a bunch of custom shortcuts. Like months. I've considered it as a separate project. Call it Shorty or something. The primary problem is the oracle / awareness. If you're not aware, the application must program the shortcuts and nothing is future-proof. More work while the already proposed work is monumental.

No one should request custom shortcuts because I like my own. Everyone does. KDE has a shortcut thingy and you an add applications. Did you try it? I didn't. Perhaps it works.

[meteos77]

Sorry for my late reply, long vacation without computer :-) Thanks for all the explanations on how to create shortcuts in an application.

In fact, I had asked for personalized shortcuts so that everyone could define their own according to their preferences.

I'll ask again but with shortcuts set by you (without the possibility of modifying them) if that's easier to implement.

Otherwise (too much development time), close the ticket and make do with the existing shortcuts.

How was you{r} vacation?

[meteos77]

Quiet vacation, it did me good to get away and see other landscapes. it was the first time I'd been away for a month. great experience, to see what I really miss... nothing except my environment with trees.

on the way back, a little gene to use the mouse (same feeling when you haven't used a pen for a long time) :-) it was back to normal in a few minutes.

Do you go away sometimes?

[textbrowser]

Cool beans. Yes, when I meemee to sleep. Otherwise, Americans work until they die. Our sole purpose is work. What do you do? I work. Defined by work culture. Entire existence is work. It originated from religious zealots many years ago and continues today. It's a myth continued by megalomaniac capitalists.

[textbrowser]

Right, lunatics like Adam Smith. :)

[meteos77]

is it true that Americans don't take all their paid vacations?

[textbrowser]

The so-called non-wealth classes are prohibited from voting, leisure, and rebelling by connecting healthcare to work. So if you do not work, you cannot go to a doctor.

[textbrowser]

And you're going to be told lots of numbers contrary to what I wrote, but the actual people living under said conditions exist and exist through said conditions. Massive and expensive propaganda paint a rosy yellow-brick road to hope and happiness and everything being swell. :)

[meteos77]

So if an American is rich = vacation OK (those we see in Europe) if an American is poor = work for a healthcare system.

[textbrowser]

All you have to do is work 3 jobs and someday you'll be in the in club. Work lots and lots and be happy for the work and be actively working and forget about the sadness and inequality. Just work and you'll do it and succeed and everything will be fine. Meanwhile, Greece is on fire and Rhianna is not there singing about it.

[meteos77]

if it were only Greece :( But why don't poor Americans vote for a collective social security system like in Europe?

[textbrowser]

Don't know. Maybe they're rich maybe they're desperate to waste all they have in a burning continent. Travel is bad. There are like 20,000 airplanes in the air right now. Now and a few moments ago, and still in the air after I press Comment.

Why? Propaganda. Lack of empathy. Ignorance. Who knows. Not impossible to ask them all. :)

[meteos77]

I once took a plane to see a solar eclipse but it's not my thing. I prefer the train. it's easier in my country because it's only 1000 x 900 km.

Arduino is great for low-power computations in the environment. Pi too. Ultimately, smarter software is necessary. New low-power thinking. It's a fabulous future there. To think. Like, this algorithm is better in this architecture or this algorithm is architecturally-agnostic and is low-power smart. Super cool.

[meteos77]

my "video recorder" runs on raspi with libreelect it's super optimize, it works great.

What do you do with arduino because uno is limited?

[textbrowser]

Monitor humidity and temperature.

[textbrowser]

One can also program Arduino's for turning on computers. Or turning valves. Or reporting information to other computers via the ether. Or responding to light / noise / etc.

[textbrowser]

And they can live in the outdoors. No need to spend thousands on these expensive embedded "military-grade" computers.

[meteos77]

some time ago I built myself an arduino-based electric train control unit (DCC standard). https://github.com/DccPlusPlus it worked quite well, but I had to make choices due to lack of space -> no more train layout :-(

[meteos77]

I suppose you've made your own program for "Monitor humidity and temperature"?

That's super cool. You could. Train someone on Arduino. And, not to blow a whistle, but this creates a track of ideas.

[meteos77]

Careful! Modeling is as time-consuming as computing!

[meteos77]

Complex programs can be interfaced with arduino and the dccpp or dcc++ program. for example: https://www.jmri.org/index_fr.shtml and so lots of sensors/actuators are used to manage train traffic, lights ... sounds ... for me, it was more fun to discover arduino this way.

[meteos77]

I just compiled glitch ... pff wonderful program!

[textbrowser]

The Android version is as rich as the other environments.

[textbrowser]

Some of the double-click things must be remade for Android and some of the menus required special considerations. However! I don't have to rewrite it in Java or Kotlin. That's superb.

[textbrowser]

Batch Activities is now Ctrl + B.

[meteos77]

Great, thanks for the example: I've learned how to modify existing shortcuts with qtcreator. you need to find the right "object name" and place the desired shortcut. example: actionBatchActivitiesBrowser -> in biblioteq_mainwindow.ui -> Ctrl+B (BatchActivities)

I've added customQueryTool -> in biblioteq_mainwindow.ui -> F12 (Custom SQL Queries) action_French -> in biblioteq_mainwindow.ui -> F1 (French Documentation)

However, I couldn't find the object name for the book search :( isn't there an associated action? action_book -> add book and not search

CQF is editable so you may configure your own shortcut without Designer.

[textbrowser]

What's the standard search shortcut? I will try adding it to the search tool. When activated, the tool's menu will become visible. I cannot add it solely to the Book Search category because the other searches would be ignored.

[meteos77]

The standard search is Ctrl+F, but we're only searching in the books category, so certain fields don't appear, such as "author" or "public". This also allows us to have the same window between creation and search. It's great because the shortcut table is updated.

[meteos77]

I'm looking to add "actions" for which you haven't activated shortcuts? such as customQueryTool or help in the current language.

Of course, the "CQF" command is activated in F6 for me via the option/shortcut menu.

[textbrowser]

Closing. Completed some shortcuts.
