Hotkey activation

[webmastak]

Is it possible to make a choice to activate the translation by a hot key and turn off the icon or by a hot key and icon?

[sunwxg]

Do you means to use hot key to disable and enable the extension?

[webmastak]

I want to use the hot key to activate the translation of the selected text.

[sunwxg]

Okay, I get it. Which hot key do you prefer to do this work?

[webmastak]

It is best to choose which keys to turn on.

[sunwxg]

I think It's better to use same key to trigger on and off. Press once to turn on, then press again to turn off.

All right.

But you me did not understand) Make it so that can set the hotkey which one wants to use.

[sunwxg]

It's a little difficult to set hotkey manually. I prefer to use the fix hotkey, or select one hotkey from several hotkeys.

You can try my another extension 'Switch Workspace'. In this extension, user can chose the hotkey from 4 hotkeys.

[webmastak]

In this extension for example, in the settings you can set the hot key yourself.

I'm not strong in the java script unfortunately, I would have done it myself, may be rummaging at leisure. ))

[sunwxg]

Yes, in that extension we can define hotkey manually. You can see the code in prefs.js, almost 90% codes are for manually defining hotkeys. And you should consider many other things, one important is conflict with other hotkeys. If you can't consider all things, you will meet many bugs. So I prefer to use fix hotkey.

[webmastak]

You can simply write hotkeys to a constant? For example const HOTKEY = "<Super>z"; Who will need to change, he will climb and fix in the file.

[sunwxg]

Yes, I can. If we use fix hotkey, we will define it in the code as that.

[webmastak]

Good

New feature has been finished. You can get it from extensions.gnome.org . Now the default hotkey is Ctrl+Alt+j . If you want to change hotkey, do as follow:

gsettings --schemadir ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]@gmail.com/schemas get org.gnome.shell.extensions.dict hotkey
gsettings --schemadir ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]@gmail.com/schemas set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dict hotkey "<Control><Shift>j"

Thank

But you still do not understand me))) Hotkeys do not enable / disable the extension. Hot keys need to activate the window translation. And when you activate text translation with hotkeys, disable the pop-up icon.

And when you add your web address to the translation, Google for example. An empty window opens! https://translate.google.ru/?sl=auto&tl=ru&text=%WORD

So the perfect solution for me remains - Text Translator
