Description jcurry 2005-02-01 00:32:31 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

It would be awesome, and a great boost to productivity, if there was ActiveWords-like functionality in KDE.

ActiveWords lets you type a string, then a trigger key (or kesy) to run a command, or insert a character.  A great example of ActionWords can be found here: http://www.activewords.com/demos.html, also, blogger Bren gives some good examples: http://www.slackermanager.com/slacker_manager/2005/01/i_am_in_love_wi.html

This seems like it would do well in khotkeys.

As announced in https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/26/what-we-plan-to-remove-in-plasma-6/ and https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6#Removals, I'm afraid KHotKeys has reached end-of-life in Plasma 6. Accordingly, all bug reports and feature requests for it must be closed now.

Most of what KHotKeys could do can already be done with the newer KGlobalAccel system in Plasma 6. A few features such as mouse gestures and triggering conditions based on changes to window states are not yet implemented in the new system. These will be added in the future if and when resources materialize for them, and/or when a kind soul submits patches to implement them! :) Meanwhile, the 3rd-party "Mouse Actions" app (https://github.com/jersou/mouse-actions) may be usable for implementing your own mouse gestures again.

Thanks for your understanding, everyone.
