Toggle widget with keyboard shortcut

Open ghost opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Right now, it is possible to hide and show widgets through the menu bar app. This is fine, but it would be faster to press a keyboard shortcut to show selected widgets. Say you have a lot of widgets, but you don't want a cluttered desktop. You could press a keyboard shortcut to show those widgets, and then press again to hide them.

Have you considered using https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/ to set up macros which could for example move widgets in and out of your 'active widgets' folder or even change their behaviour by changing files read/processed by a widget?

here's a script where i toggle an ubersicht widget that i created by symlinking/unlinking it to the widgets directory:

and then i personally use skhd to create keybinds that run this program and many others. it's very simple
