[Settings cycler] IDEA / Question: H2 add a delay in a cycler/toggling to showing then hide again?

Open chipbite opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Hi!

The use case: I have statusbar (and almost everything else) hidden / toggled off. I would like to check the statusbar, in some situations. So: Issue a command to display statusbar, and after a short delay, it hides itself again.

Two example situations, that differ somewhat:

  1. I simply want to see some information that is displayed in the statusbar, or possibly click on one of the elements (start a share session, or whatever)
  2. When executing some commands, they display results in the statusbar - ideally, I would like to define a command sequence using e g cycler that executes a command, shows the statusbar, waits for a bit (insert delay or callback in x secs), and then hides the statusbar again.

So, this is an idea / feature request for a timer/delay feature!

I can see a few options of how to express it/fit it in, but since I have little clue about the implementation, I will refrain from speculating... :-)

Thanks for a great extension!
