[FEATURE REQUEST] New `Wait` button: Wait until input

[FelipeRearden]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No. It’s a new feature based on an existing feature (wait button)

Describe the solution you'd like A new button that jumps to the next command only after the previous commands was finished

Additional context

Hello again @chhoumann !!!!!

My feature request is based on a MACRO that I created to create new files (notes) in a folder choose by the user (me).

It's easier to explain my FR after showing my MACRO

Let's focus in these three commands

• Command 5- Move File to Another Folder
• Command 6- Wait 8000ms
• Command 7 - Edit File Title

Command 5- Move File to Another Folder --> opens a modal to choose a folder to the new file that I create before

Command 6- Wait 8000ms --> it is the time that I defined to choose a folder from Command 5 before passing to the last command of my MACRO (command 7):

• Many times I already know the folder destination and have to wait to the next command :(
• Sometimes I don't find the destination folder quickly and I lost the time to define the destination folder :(

Command 7- Edit File Title --> I change the file name:

• I let this command in the end to have time to write the note title.

My FR is a new wait button to replace Command 6: A wait button that will execute the next action (command 7) only when I finish the previous command (command 5)

• i’m calling it WAIT UNTIL INPUT

Would be a great feature to every MACRO that uses commands with modal and commands that needs the user action to get to the next command.

I hope this is an feasible one :)

Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks again for everything and I wish you a fantastic day :)

In fact I think, in macros, it's always the previous step that completes before the next one, so I don't really understand what your problem is, are you calling some other script like bash, python or something?

For commands like Move File to Another Folder (that open a modal that needs the user input ) the command finishes the moment that the modal is in the screen and NOT the moment that the user type the input (select a folder destination)

This way the next action (edit file title) start to run after the modal is open in the screen and NOT after the user input (select the destination folder)

• That why I have to use Wait 8000ms between these to commands. To have time to finished the modal command (Move File to Another Folder) before start the next command (Edit File Title)

I don't really understand what your problem is,

Why don't you create a Macro with the same type of command that I'm describing in this FR to see how QuickAdd in behaving?

• Would be much more easy to you to understand what I described in my FR.

No. I'm using the plug-in Shell Commands to create a shell command to press ENTER after creating a new note (command 1).
