Keypress Gestures

Open mageta opened this issue 7 years ago • 8 comments

One cool thing I miss from FireGesture is "Keypress Gestures" (that is the term they use). These are gestures that are combined with a certain key being held while doing the gesture - something like Alt, Ctrl, Shift. While doing these Keypress Gestures the actual gesture itself - or rather the line your draw with the gesture - does not matter, just what key is held; instead this (maybe imaginary) line marks the links/object that the gesture operates on.

They have three function for these:

  • Open Marked Links: Each link you gesture/hover over (drawing the line over them) is opened in a new tab.
  • Saved Marked Links: Same principle, but open the save dialog.
  • Copy Marked Links: Same principle, but copies the links into the clipboard.

I see that there is already a gesture for opening a link in background/foreground, just a single one in this case.

Anyway, don't know whether/how I can mark this a Feature Request/Idea, but that it is, not a bug.

Hi, yes @Robbendebiene I use your addon since several days and this feature is one of the major thing that I need since I switch (I used FireGestures which permits this).

Regards.

@honeymagico Snaplinks is pretty good but it doesn't play well with Gesturefy. Currently you can only use the Copy to clipboard function. It doesn't do Open Link. And Checkbox/Radio button button is far too rare to have it usage but does come handy.

Anyway, be good is Gesturefy can mimic it function with Line trail rather than area box like Snap, but if Line Trail is not possible area box is good too.

Copy Marked Links: Same principle, but copies the links into the clipboard. 希望能增加这个功能,复制鼠标划过的所有链接到剪贴板。 谢谢!

Yes I need this, just like firegestures, please add it

  • Hold Shift = copy all links marked
  • Hold Ctrl = open all links marked

Man, I miss this so badly. Used this all the time with firegestures, perfect tool to do deep dives into a new topic.
