As Andreas has mentioned that he would rather have individual tickets than posts on existing ones: I think floating menus are awesome but desperately need keyboard navigation. Specifically, I would love to be able to assign one-letter abbreviations to menus (I think Windows does that in menus). So, something like this:
Thingy
Howdie
Another Item
and if I press T or H or I, it triggers the respective action. Does that make sense?
To me that makes sense In fact, this is already possible with the Advanced Conditions. If the floating menu (name) is visible, then "T" triggers Thingy. But maybe you can simplify the setup, if this happens directly at the floating menus.
It's a bit complicated because flloating menus usually don't get "keyboard focus".
There are currently two options to achieve this - depending on your use case, both involve a conditional activation group in which you define the keyboard shortcuts you want.
Using a conditional activation group with the "hovered_floating_menu_identifier"
Using a conditional activation group with the "visible_floating_menu_identifiers"
I see. Seems like a sensible approach. Two points, though:
I do not see a variable called 'visible_floating_menu_identifiers'. Was this added in a specific release (I pulled the most recent one from homebrew today)
Is there a canonical way to trigger a menu item? I know I could refactor its actions into a named trigger and trigger that but I hate to scatter logic like that.
2.) In v4.172 (uploading now) I have just added a new action "Execute Actions For Existing Configured Trigger", which let's you select the trigger whose actions shall be executed.
Regarding 1: yes, you are right. I was checking in the triggers "advanced conditions". I guess it would be good to keep the lists of conditions consistent between activation groups and advanced conditions.
I've tried to use it with one of the menus you posted in the other thread, but for some reason it doesn't activate even though he variable visible/hover changes, the condition doesn't turn green like on this screenshot
