[Feature Request]Text Cursor Context #127
Comments
IMHO this kind of feature should not be something for Keymapper to handle as a low level input device mapper. I'm not an expert on how this stuff works, but I would assume this would depend on the OS and possibly even application. Based on a quick search, it appears Windows has a mechanism to detect this but couldn't find a definite "yes" for Linux. However, if you know a way to detect this in your specific use case, this should be possible with the recently introduced TextInputMode = Virtual0 Then based on some external script, call Please share if you figure out how to do this on Linux. I too would find this useful for some purposes and something I was thinking about when I submitted #103 (ended up being implemented on #105). |
Hi, Thanks for the detailed explanation. |
It'll be great if it can be implemented just for windows, if linux is not possible. |
@rp1231 which browser extension are you referring to. Does it or any other application have this feature and does it work satisfactorily? @ristomatti Thank you very much for your research! I also think that under Linux it is quite hopeless to make it work out of the box. |
@houmain the extension I was referring to is https://www.autocontrol.app/. ![]() |
As far as I understand it, it does not work on Windows in general but only within the web browser, right? |
@houmain It does work on windows as well. The settings I showed in the screenshot enable you to do that. To use the extension, you need to install an extra exe as well which allows it to run system wide via native messaging. |
I believe Grammarly can also do this on Win/Mac/Android/iOS as well but not on Linux. But it's a commercial product with likely a big team working on it full time... |
I have set CapsLock{Right Half of my keyboard} as number pad keys.
But I would only like to have this mapping enabled when the text cursor is active as it is pretty much useless otherwise.
I would like the CapsLock to behave as the Control key when the normal mouse pointer is active.
It would be great if there was a feature which enabled you to set mappings for when the text cursor is active.
Thanks
