Having the "Start button" as Hotkey leads to "Touchpad Three finger tap" working as Hotkey as well

Open SIVAH-AKASH opened this issue 2 years ago • 12 comments

I have changed my Hotkey to Start (which appears as "Win + LWin" in the Hotkey field). The popup appears perfectly fine when I click Start after that, but the popup also appears when I Three-finger-tap my laptop touchpad as well (which is currently mapped to 'Middle click' in Windows settings).

Currently I don't believe that work. Quite a few effort is needed to implement this.

@taooceros I was able to get the Start button to launch Flow Launcher by disabling the inbuilt Windows Start menu.

But that brings the problem I mentioned in this issue.

oh I see. what do you mean by triple click? click with three fingers? My touchpad is set to open the start menu by default for triple click. Can that be an issue?

My bad. I meant tap with three fingers (edited the issue topic).

I have mapped it to middle-click, so I don't think that's the issue.

Sry for the late reply. I think you can map triple tap to flow's key board shortcut that is (e.g. alt space).

@taooceros, wouldn't I need a separate app for that?

I don't think so. I remembered Windows allow you to have this kind of customization (i have set left right swap to be copy and paste). Though i think the option is kindly hidden.

It would be under windows settings, maybe 'Touchpad', where you can set finger gestures and assign them to keyboard shortcuts, I think that's what you mean right @taooceros.

hey @SIVAH-AKASH 3 finger tap = middle click is suuuuper weird implemented by Microsoft and i don't know how easy it is for other software to workaround that properly.

I have captured that behaviour in a commit for myself here: https://github.com/TheBestPessimist/AutoHotKey-Scripts/commit/487448281fe09ad6f8b1d74a83632fbe2d5280d6

Basically, M$ is sending all modifier keys as "down" event before sending middle click, then sending them in reverse as "up" event after the middle click. It does that every time you 3 finger tap middle click.

Why? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ask microsoft why did it make it so retarded.
