Description Maciej Pilichowski 2006-05-18 12:11:24 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

It would be great to allow gestures engine not only include moves like "up", but "move to X,Y" (in window coordinates). This way the users could build really complex macros involving even several applications. What more, once written, such macro engine could be used locally by any app to record and use its own (app specific) macros.

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.
