to speed up the workflow, I'd like to press "+" to add an action trigger and directly next I want to type in the key I want to have. Right now, this works here only with the group triggers, not with the action triggers. It seems this might be dependent on how the columns sizes are within BTT? Please look at the picture, as you can see on the right side there is a graphical issue. Everytime I want to assign a keyboard trigger, I have to move the mouse first and select it then. Could be faster.
ich schubse das hier nochmal an, es ist eine kleine Verbesserungs-Anfrage mit drastischer Beschleunigung. In 1 Satz: Beim Aufrufen der Aktions-Auswahlmenüs automatisch das Feld für die Kombination auswählen.
Warum? BTT ist doch zu 70-80% für Kombinationen gedacht. Weshalb ständig gebremst werden bei jeder einzelnen Tastaturaktion, das geht eleganter.
Wie? Siehe die 2 Fotos: Warum auch immer selektiert BTT manchmal mit einem blauen Kasten bereits die Aktion. Zumindest das hätte ich gerne automatisch immer, dann müsste ich noch wissen, wie ich das Feld darunter anwähle, ohne mit der Maus ständig arbeiten zu müssen. Ich möchte den Ablauf so schnell und unnötig kompliziert haben, BTT also per se davon ausgeht, dass die meisten Aktionen Tastaturkommandos sein werden.
@JohannesSchv , @Frank1 , the things you are discussing are intriguing for me (and possibly for others), but when they are written in Deutsch it is hard to follow, I constantly need to manually translate the page to English or in case of screenshots, with text you wrote, use the action I've configured in BTT - OCR + translate. I know that maybe you prefer to write in your mother tongue in order to avoid some misunderstanding, but I think the whole community here would benefit from using English. Hope that this makes sense.
@JohannesSchv , I think one could argue which is more important - the search box (which is active after action creation) or the "Send Keyboard Shortcut". Maybe just the "Send Keyboard Shortcut" should not be expanded since indeed creates some confusion.
Yes, I agree, that's why I am pushing this because both can be possible and no user has to be excluded. The UI can be organized that way, that if you know, what to press, you get directly to the selection.
For translation you might want to use my preset? It opens a medium-sized window with Linguee in autodetecting language. Press FN+L (for linguee). Copy and paste either english or german text, Linguee automatically translate in the right direction. Window disappears if you move out.
I think the problem is that there is currently no way to expand a section in the action selector by keyboard.
You can open the action selector by pressing space and navigate it via arrow keys. However the search field catches all input, thus the opening of categories via space doesn't work. I'll fix that.
idea is, you could code in that after adding an action trigger and the user presses "A" (because of the ABC icon), the cursor directly jumps into the field. Easy, slick, fast. And every other user doesn't get disturbed.
instead of "A" the spacebar. You don't need the spacebar for anything in that moment. As key commands are that main feature, it would be logical, comfortable and not disturb anyone else.
Don't you think that others sometimes have to do the same when the text is in English? So if it's easier for you, it will be harder for others. Just a thought
