✨ Option for 2nd Trigger Key to snap in thirds / 3x2 grid

Open spiritually-soup opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Feature Request Description

Currently, there is 1 singular trigger key that activates snapping via the radial menu, within a 2x2 grid.

I suggest having a second trigger key that snaps (via radial menu) within a 3 columns x 2 rows grid. This would be optional (i.e. users can activate it or leave it unset), and can be a single key as well.

For example: my 1st trigger key is Fn, my 2nd/secondary trigger key is Left-Cmd.

You could potentially add a modifier for the 2nd trigger key to let users snap to 2/3 of the grid/bottom row. (I do realise this would make centre-top and centre-bottom areas of the radial menu a bit useless; I would be fine with them not doing anything. If there is ever a 3x3 grid functionality then that would be relevant again I guess.)

For most users without huge screens, I think a 3x2 grid would be the other most-used layout. Allowing users to snap to a 3x2 grid via touchpad/mouse gestures would be extremely intuitive (and be feasible to implement? idk).

Additional Context

As someone who's not a keyboard power user, I would prefer more touchpad-gesture compatibility! I did try Swish and a few others but found them to be not very intuitive or frustrating.

Loop so far is very elegant and easy to use, haven't needed to re-train my brain to use a different set of hand actions!

You could consider this suggestion to be an alternative (of sorts) for #108 ?
