Speed and Font Size

Open AhmedThahir66 opened this issue 3 years ago • 11 comments

Hi I really love your app. It's making life soooooo much easier. I've got a few questions.

  1. Is there a way to make the hints appear quicker? I find that the hints take a bit too much time to appear sometimes.
    1. I'm using autohotkey to call the app in hint mode
    2. the file is stored in C: drive (SSD) next to programfiles, programdata, etc.
  2. I find the font size to be a bit too small. Is there a way to change that?
  3. Is there a way to toggle the app (other than using Esc)?

It has been accelerated a lot by native API, but UIA is just so slow. UIA is not designed for recursions in fact.

Oh okay, thanks! But what about points 2. and 3. ?

Indeed UIA is very slow :/

Will look at making fonts and shortcuts configurable. #39 is landing support for configuration which should help in these cases

I'm so thankful someone created a Vimac alternative for Windows, thank you devs.

I also would love to increase the font-size. On my monitor, it's very small to read! I'm on 4K but everything is scaled 150% by Windows on default.

I have to second the Font size complaint. I am healing from a repetitive strain injury, and would feel confident going back to work with the help of this software, but the tags are just to small to use.

The software is well designed, but the font size is maddening.

  • Is there any method to adjust the font size of labels.

I would love to help with increasing the speed. May need some hints/guidance on where to start because I am more of a Python/linux guy.

Here is an idea: Is drawing or calculating the problem? If the latter, then... Why not to calculate the hints in the background for example every 5 seconds so as to have it already done when a user requests it? This could be an experimental feature, to be enabled in the configuration or assigned to another shortcut.

Or you could calculate the hint after each time a click event is performed.

Changing the font size is very simple. All you have to do is to modify this line, FontSize attribute to be precise: https://github.com/zsims/hunt-and-peck/blob/master/src/HuntAndPeck/Views/OverlayView.xaml#L52

The more challenging part is to build the whole project after making the change. I had to download VisualStudio and .NET Framework 4.5.1 Developer Pack to make it work. I can add a commit that allows to customize the FontSize from a tray menu if you want me to (without building, etc).

Hi guys! I added an option to change the font size in settings. New version of the application is available here: https://github.com/zsims/hunt-and-peck/releases/download/release%2F1.7/HuntAndPeck-1.7.zip

HOW TO CHANGE THE FONT SIZE: Find the application icon in tray, click right mouse button, select Options, then use the FontSize menu to change the font size.
