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.
Adding a regex for variants of `qemu-system-.*` to remotes list to bypass Kinto mapping. This is working for me.
Variants I've seen on my system:
`qemu-system-i386`
`qemu-system-x86_64`
A snap package called Sosumi operates as a QEMU/KVM front end, and caused a problem because it wanted to see Control_L+Alt_L+G to let go of mouse and keyboard. This solves that problem.
Putting this in as disabled. It will need some logic in the installer to enable it if Neon is detected, and disable the `(gnome/kde)` line above it. But at least it will be there already, to be manually enabled if necessary.
See issue #477 for discussion.
Safari and Chrome/Chromium use Ctrl+Shift+N to open private/incognito windows. Firefox for some reason wants to use Ctrl+Shift+P. This makes Firefox respond to Ctrl+Shift+N the same way as Safari and the Chromes. Ctrl+Shift+P of course still works also.
No pre-existing action for Ctrl+Shift+N seems to exist in the current Firefox version. So no known conflict.
Note: I'm trying to consistently leave a comma after the last item in each vertically formatted python list, so that when someone with less python knowledge wants to add something to the list and does it the "lazy way" by just copying the last line, pasting it on the end and editing it to add a new item, they won't cause the "missing comma" python error too easily. Having a comma on the very end of the list with no element after it doesn't seem to cause any harm or python errors. And you can copy/paste the last item as many times as you want without getting into trouble.
Just doing some sweeping up and prettifying. Main thing is adding the PCManFM fork, PCManFM-Qt to the overrides block for PCManFM. Working on the Nautilus variant reminded me.
Zorin OS uses Nautilus as default file manager, but its WM_CLASS is shortened to "nautilus" instead of the original "org.gnome.nautilus". So we have to add that to the list (and also to the overrides for Nautilus).
2021-04-05 updated version of Finder mods, supporting common Linux file managers:
```
#
# Caja File Browser (MATE file manager, fork of Nautilus)
# DDE File Manager (Deepin Linux file manager)
# Dolphin (KDE file manager)
# Nautilus (GNOME file manager, may be named "Files")
# Nemo (Cinnamon file manager, fork of Nautilus, may be named "Files")
# Pantheon Files (elementary OS file manager, may be named "Files")
# PCManFM (LXDE file manager)
# PCManFM-Qt (LXQt file manager)
# SpaceFM (Fork of PCManFM file manager)
# Thunar File Manager (Xfce file manager)
#
```
This adds support for the Deepin Linux default file manager, and some rearranging/code clarification improvements on the previous iteration. Closing PR #450 in favor of this update.
