Lightning bolt menu's

[runner]

Is there a way of getting a keyboard shortcut to the saved items under the lightning bolt menu's?

I'm talking about snapshot menus I guess that would be a better description.

Hopefully.

I brought it up several times.

I asked for shortcuts to all tasks so we can automize it ourself.

I even said I will shut up for a while if it happens.....

Lets see on next update. I got two changes I suggested in the last software update.

You should add it under Feature Requests.

Adding a global keyboard shortcut to items in a popup menu for a window that does not exist is not easily done.  I've been thinking of ways to expose the snapshots of various features in a manner that would allow keyboard shortcuts to be applied to them.  It is much more straightforward to add the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts to the snapshots of a window that is open, but this would require opening the window first, then pressing the keyboard shortcut, which is clearly not what either of you are asking for.

Thank you for looking into it.

I, of course, dont know about the technical part.

So my suggestions about either keeping it open as an option (although it might look ugly), make customizable buttons where you can choose which ones to be visible or mark some of the them to be stick (ie visible) probably doesnt work.

You say global? Is it possible to make it local (if that makes sense) so there is a global shortcut (command U for example) and then a local one?

Or, as you write, that its possible to make a shortcut after the drop down menu is open, is there a way to make a short cut to open the window? Number of shortcuts is not really a problem for me as it is automised so if there would be a longer way to it, that is also fine.

And if you can assign shortcuts to the items when they are open, we might be able to automise the opening of it better than now. A suggestion could be the ability to choose it to be a lot bigger (the problems is often that software arent that precise when moving the indicator) or that it can be assigned to a specific area of the screen so the location is precise.

For me, of course, it doesnt matter how it looks or anything, as I wouldnt have to look at it again as it is then automised....

But please keep thinking about it. Its a huge time saver during a game.

Thank you and enjoy the weekend.
