The CutefishOS apps seem to have somewhat limited support for keyboard shortcuts in general, but what they do support is working as expected after adding their WM_CLASSes to the config file.
As much as I enjoy the convenience of the Cmd+D (Duplicate file/folder) shortcut, I have reluctantly made the decision that for most users it would be best to disable it by default, since it conflicts with the inherited function of "Add Bookmark" that Linux file managers like Nautilus have started using in parity with web browsers. Just one more thing that makes it easier to slide between web browsers and file "browsers".
It's fun but has never been a "necessary" shortcut since a quick Cmd+C/Cmd+V will always accomplish the same thing. No one but me should miss it being active, and it will no longer interfere by default with bookmarking locations in Nautilus or any other file manager with that function assigned to Cmd+D (Ctrl+D).
Anyone who really wants it can re-enable it.
Cmd+Shift+Braces (in addition to the already existing remap of Opt+Cmd+Left/Right) is a verified working alternate shortcut for tab (view) navigation in VSCodium on macOS.
While Cmd+Braces advances and retracts the indent/tabbing level, these Cmd+Shift+Braces shortcuts (physical Ctrl+Shift+Braces on PC keyboard) appear to do nothing in the Linux version of VSCode without this remap.
Enabling this will bring the Cmd+Shift+Braces tab navigation behavior in the "codes" apps in line with the same behavior in macOS for web browser tabs, terminal tabs and file manager tabs.
This update activates tab navigation (prior/next tab, left/right) in terminals, with Ctrl+Shift+Braces (Cmd+Shift+Braces in macOS).
Verified this is a working shortcut in macOS Mojave, on a 2011 MacBook Pro. Works for tab nav in both Apple's Terminal.app and iTerm2. The Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn shortcut that works for terminal tab nav in Linux does nothing in macOS.
This is the same shortcut remap that is working for tab nav in web browsers and file managers. All tested working in macOS.
Talked to a Ulauncher dev and determined that the Ulauncher search results are limited for the foreseeable future to a max of 17 items. So the screen size is not relevant and there is no reason at present to remap beyond Ctrl+h. So this keymap block can be trimmed down a bit.
Remapping Ctrl+a and Ctrl+c of course interferes with quickly selecting and copying text within the search field, so it seems wise to disable those by default, and the trimmed list will no longer have Ctrl+v as a remap, so it won't interfere with pasting text into the search field. I don't see any good way around these conflicts, except maybe shifting the whole remap scheme to using Ctrl+Shift instead of just the Ctrl key. But that wouldn't be very intuitive.
Most desired results will tend to be near the top of the results list anyway, so the primary benefit is still retained by having 1-9 mapped, plus the remaining letters.
Adding `KEY_0` to the numerical key remaps, which will have no effect for now since Alt+0 doesn't exist, but I'll be asking the Ulauncher devs to add it as a shortcut in the app, so I hope it will be a usable remap in a future Ulauncher release.
Adding in Cmd+Shift+Left/Right to match another macOS Finder shortcut that works for tab navigation.
This is unfortunately different from the web browser shortcut of Cmd+Option+Left/Right for tab nav.
Some good updates to the Finder mods here.
- Make labels a bit more clear.
- Clean up a lot of formatting/alignment for readability.
- Make tab nav with braces work in Deepin's dde-file-manager (Ctrl+Shift+Tab/Ctrl+Tab)
- Optional (disabled) shortcut to make new Nautilus windows remap to a system shortcut of Cmd+Option+Space (Ctrl+Alt+Space).
- Enable Cmd+Braces to supplement Cmd+Left/Right for back-forward nav in all file managers (verified these are working shortcuts in macOS Finder). Uses the same remap as Ctrl+Left/Right to Alt+Left/Right, so works in all supported file managers. One more similarity to make file managers behave the same as web browsers.
- Bring as much order as possible to the chaos of folder view shortcuts.
Six file managers approximate the Finder's view options of Cmd+1 (Icons), Cmd+2 (Detailed List), Cmd+3 (Compact list or columns). Eight can do at least the first two views. Now all file managers will use the same folder view for the same Cmd+1/2/3 equivalent.
Nautilus has two view modes and the shortcuts were reversed. Dolphin has three and was partially reversed. PCManFM has four, with three shortcuts out of order. All fixed to match Finder as closely as possible with this patch.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
Ulauncher displays shortcuts on each line of results to activate that line with a keyboard shortcut. This could mean launching an application, opening a file, or navigating through a directory hierarchy with a file/directory extension. All shortcuts are based on the Alt key, with numbers 1-9 and then letters if there are enough search results being displayed.
Kinto remaps the Alt key to be Ctrl, so this just remaps Ctrl+[number] and Ctrl+[letter] back to Alt+[number] and Alt+[letter] when WM_CLASS is "ulauncher", to allow the user to continue using the physical Alt key shortcuts to activate Ulauncher search results.
On a 1080p display, using a file/directory search extension in Ulauncher, I have seen search results with shortcuts from "Alt+1" to at least "Alt+g" being displayed. With this remapping everything seems to work fine for me. I don't know if a high resolution monitor will display all the way up to "Alt+z" but I went ahead and included the whole alphabet just to be sure.
This app (Tabby, used to be Terminus) is heavy and has some really strange behaviors with keyboard shortcuts, but that doesn't seem to actually be a problem with Kinto's remapping. Tabby behaves equally strangely with Kinto disabled. Very slow to react to keyboard shortcuts in general and often requires hitting holding down the modifier and hitting the last key a second time.
Might be a peculiarity specific to having it installed on my Ubuntu/GNOME 21.10 system. It's a cross-platform terminal app. Might want to check it out on Windows and see if it should be added to the Windows Kinto config file.
Playing with QuickEMU. It uses QEMU but the main window has a WM_CLASS of "Spicy" so isn't caught by the "qemu" entry. Adding it to the list of VM-type software.
I made this change `~/.config/kinto/kinto.py` and restarted the service. Then cmd-option-left/right worked in Firefox Developer Edition as well – https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto/issues/535#issuecomment-917612176
I’m quite new to Kinto so I’m not 100% sure this is the correct fix, but it seems to work.
Thanks for Kinto btw! It’s awesome.
