Ability to have a last searched item when invoking Wooshy

[hasantahir]

My personal experience so far is that there are certain elements that I want to access every time I invoke Wooshy. Like the Link Button we talked about earlier and colour in Word. Is it possible that Wooshy remembers what it was used for the last time?

With this, Wooshy will take me to the desired location every time it is called without having to type anything. Now that is lazy :-).

not sure if easily feasible but there could be an option where The Input doesn't get cleaned, and where when you activate Wooshy it then targets your previous search. but this feels weird to me. how often would you actually use this? i mean i could make things easier by also selecting the past search, so that you could type over it easily, but still feels strange to me. am i misunderstanding something?

[hasantahir]

Exactly, rather than flushing The Input, there is an option in the settings where we can keep the field preserved.

One may ask why not use a keyboard shortcut for such a repetitive action. Well, in this case, invoking Wooshy will serve the purpose.

[godbout]

ok. still feels weird to me because it seems the need should happen very seldomly. but i'll add an option as experimental first and we update from there. thanks for pushing the limits hehe.

[godbout]

so does that look like what you're thinking?

Fantastic. Exactly. Thanks.

[godbout]

alright. need to add some tests, and should be included as an option in the next couple of days.

[godbout]

sorry, took longer to get proper tests. getting close to release now.

in v8: https://github.com/godbout/Wooshy.docs/releases/tag/8

[godbout]

@hasantahir can you try v9: https://github.com/godbout/Wooshy.docs/releases/tag/9
should fix the issue. hopefully.

[hasantahir]

So I can't make out what's happening here but v9 is also crashing in Outlook. However, I have been calling Wooshy quite aggressively like every 2 seconds. It is, however, behaving normally outside Outlook.

[godbout]

seems a diacritic issue again. can you show me all of your Wooshy's Settings? thanks.

also, calling Wooshy aggressively shouldn't be an issue.
can you show me also what you are targeting in Outlook? does it crash every single time? whatever emails you're having, etc.?

in my case, seems to be working fine here:

Here are my Wooshy settings, I use the don't flush the input feature introduced in v8.

wooshy.settings.mov

I mainly access the folders on the left through Wooshy, list is below:

I wanted to create a video of the crash but haven't been to make Wooshy crash for it :-), sorry.

[godbout]

Here are my Wooshy settings, I use the don't flush the input feature introduced in v8.

can you try then without The Input flushing to see if it doesn't crash? this shouldn't have anything to do with it but who knows.

I wanted to create a video of the crash but haven't been to make Wooshy crash for it :-), sorry.

oh. ok so it doesn't crash every time. it's totally possible so that it's due to certain emails tho. when it happens again, please record a video and if possible show some emails content. even though you're targeting only the labels on the left, Wooshy will of course grab data from everything.

[hasantahir]

Hey G!

Further to this request, is it possible to activate the said UI element upon invoking Wooshy? For example, in the screengrab shown, would it be possible to bring the Fit button to focus right away without updating the text?

Thanks as always.

[godbout]

which version are you using? it should reselect automatically. see below: ``

I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I am unable to replicate what you are seeing. I am on the latest version (v11) v10. Here are a couple of screenshots of the settings:

Interestingly, there is a loading icon inside the search bar in your screengrab. Is it a new feature? Thanks.

[hasantahir]

Working great in v11. Thanks

[godbout]

Interestingly, there is a loading icon inside the search bar in your screengrab. Is it a new feature? Thanks.

actually that was developed last year, but i'm not sure why i ended up bypassing the loading. which is why sometimes, if you typed too fast, you wouldn't get any results. i think i had done that because in my case, most of the time i'd get to my Targets faster, not waiting for the full load. but i'm finding now that in quite a few cases, this bothers me. so i added back the async loading.
