Have you planned make a key event with long press?? And put a value to allow user to define the delay? Maybe global, not in each hotkey
can you give an example what is it for?
I can not focus on a possible use
The same than I propose to use with click&drag, for example.
Normal press = Merge Last
Long press = Merge Menu
Like @ideasman42 told that click&drag add a delay, at least in windows, maybe this solution don’t add that delay.
I don’t have short term plans for long-press events although this would be interesting to be able to give a single key 3 actions (tap/drag/hold).
As for the delay, the only delay should be the difference between a press event and a release. I’m not aware of extra delay on windows.
I cannot test it, but the impression of delay in windows click event is clear when in macos I don’t see that delay so clear.
i see… now understand…
I can imagine something like this with more shorcuts that have functionality variants …
for example with:
repeat last = normal press…
repeat history = long press …
or another example
normal press “x” = delete something …
long press x = delete menu…
etc etc …
it does not seem a bad idea at all
