Cli to trigger Turbo-mode

[KAGEYAM4]

Description

using https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma, i have mapped single-tap-hold on touchpad to run ydotool which triggers Ctrl+Space to open kando.

Currently i have to do --> tap-down ->wait -> kando-menu-opens -> tap-release -> tap-down -> tap-release -> tap-down-->move-pointer --> tap-release (select the item) to run kando in marking mode.

if we get a cli for turbo mode --> tap-down -> wait --> kando-menu-opens --> move-pointer --> tap-release

I don't think the above will work as kando will only see pointer being moved and won't be able to know at which point to select the item.

What about this --> a cli option which behaves like the following: kando-menu-opens --> moving mouse pointer works like turbo/marking mode where submenu opens when there is delay after reaching a node or ponter takes a turn, now to select an item and end kando-menu we use explicit mouse click.

In the meantime, i have asked in ydotool repo if it is possible to simulate text selection. ReimuNotMoe/ydotool#276

In Fly-Pie, we had something called "Hover Mode". Once you enabled this for a menu, no mouse button or keyboard key was required at all. The menu simply behaves as if the left mouse button was pressed all the time and a final click was required to select an item.

I think this is pretty much what you asked for, right? With the only exception that I wouldn't make it a CLI option but a menu behavior, like the centered or anchored mode. We already have the (quite convoluted) #303 to track this.

Yes, this exactly.

Any ETA or Roadmap? Adding hover mode, will also enable to use kando with touchpad. I can write the docs.

Not really, #468 has higher prio for me, but Hover Mode shouldn't be too difficult to implement. So maybe we can do this next, or somebody else volunteers to implement it!

I just hover mode in #821. Feel free to test the latest build from here!
