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.
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.
This adds Cmd+Shift+Braces as an option for tab navigation in most Linux file managers. Also fixes the standard tab navigation shortcuts (Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn) to work in SpaceFM.
This shortcut works in Finder on macOS.
Tested this code in:
Caja
Dolphin
Nautilus
Nemo
PCManFM[-Qt]
SpaceFM (default is Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab, now remapping from Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn)
Thunar
Adding mapping to enable Cmd+Opt+Left/Right to supplement Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn for browser tab navigation.
Shortcut is verified by testing to work on Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera in macOS, so it should be suitable for inclusion in Kinto.
Included are some line changes from PR #487, which should close that PR if this is merged.
On macOS the terminal, like a web browser, lets you "zoom" in and out with Cmd+Equal and Cmd+Minus. It doesn't force you to type Cmd+Shift+Equal to get to the "Plus" keycode on the Equal key. On Linux of course, terminals want you to use Ctrl+Shift+Equal (Plus) to zoom in (increase font size) and then Ctrl+Minus without the Shift key to decrease the font size (zoom out). This is very awkward.
Mapping RC-Minus to C-Minus in the termStr block instead of to C-Shift-Minus lets the user zoom in and out in terminals by just pressing the equivalent of Cmd-(Equal/Minus) keys, without ever worrying about the Shift key. Same as terminals in macOS, and GUI web browsers.
Since this is probably just one of the keys that was blanket remapped from RC to C-Shift, I don't know of any reason this should be harmful.
