Multiple actions per gesture.
Not sure if this needs much explanation...? 😊
There are times when I'd love to be able to do multiple actions in succession for a given gesture.
So instead of just one action (popup menu), have little + / - buttons in the "Action" section that adds more action pop up menus, one after the other. Then of course when the gesture happens, the app runs those actions in succession.
This is intentionally avoided in Multitouch for simplicity. Besides invoking Mission Control and immediately showing desktop preview, what other chained actions are you looking for?
A few points I think...
-
I'd consider and probably prefer the 'Mission Control and immediately showing desktop preview' to be a single action anyway, in addition to the standard Mission Control action (that's how BTT does it).
-
To be honest, I'm not sure I can think of any specific examples at the moment (I had a couple in mind when I posted this but now I can't remember what they were!). But even so, it's more of a principle, that I'm pretty sure I'll want to do something like that sooner or later.
-
All that said, if you particularly want to avoid it for simplicity, then I can still achieve this with the KM via bash integration -- line up a KM macro with as many steps as I want and then get MT to call that.
-
Or... how about a checkbox preference "Advanced mode" or something where you enable this and some other features for power users, while leaving it simple by default?
Either way... a nice to have, not a deal breaker at all.
Or a pro version of the app with these extra features, for a higher price...? I'd pay it.
I was a little unclear, sorry about that, and thanks for the reply. The reason I ask is because I would prefer to add in the "top" multi-step actions as their own action, rather than providing a non-trivial interface for chaining together more actions that doesn't get the usage to justify the effort to build it (and the added complexity of the UI). If you think of any other ones, let me know and I'll add them to my backlog.
I would love this. I wanted to trigger a click and then run a bash command.
For this particular action I was able to use keybinding with focus window under mouse, but for anything except focus that would not work.
