[New plugin] Mouse & Keyboard Interactions (Highly experimental!)

Hey , this is an amazing plugin.

I experimented a bit with it :).

You need to press numbers to shoot down alien ships.

bump - we need this desperately

The video doesn’t seem to show what I mentioned: namely get the right-clicked group’s Bubble data. Do you know a way to achieve it?

Is this?

YES! That’s super interesting! Could you share the editor?

That means we could finally have a smart right-click menu :slight_smile:

This is absolutely what I need - see my recent forum post! Oh my!

Just reviewed this – It’s important to note you’re using a companion plugin called Active Cell to achieve this.

Good solution though :slight_smile: I’ll definitely be keeping this in mind. Thank you for sharing @eren

I’m still looking for a way to capture the ‘enter’ key for a shortcut (with some additional conditions). This plugin looked promising. Even the Docs say

A shortcut can only ever have at most 1 of these keys: letters on an English keyboard, digits, tab, caps lock, a directional arrow, backspace, enter, escape, page down / page up, F1-10, F12, + (via numpad), the symbols ` - = [ ] \ ; ‘ , /

But when I press ‘enter’ in the field 'Keyboard shortcut"

I briefly see the word ‘enter’ flash and then disappear.
Same if I press ‘shift+enter’, and tab is also flakey. I understand this is experimental, but if you could fix at least the ‘enter’, that would be greatly appreciated here. I’d love to ‘shift + enter’ eventually too.

I have a need for a more sophisticated dropdown search function and have built my own with an input, group focus, fuzzy search and repeating group. I just need to capture the enter to make it work like all the other drop downs and searches.
Thanks!

I second this! The same goes for the Tab key – it briefly flashes, then disappears. Happens in both Safari and Chrome.

@allenyang I understand that this is an experimental feature and doesn’t have high priority, but now with a year gone by since initial (and latest?) release, I’m curious to know if this will recieve any attention at all?

As a developer of a productivity app, providing keyboard shortcuts to the end-user is essential. Really hoping this plugin has not been left behind.

It would be nice to allow the stream to send a set of keys, eg ctrl + shift + home.

Has this feature been abandoned? It’s been more than a year with no updates.

It was a step in the right direction in spite of its shortcomings. Sad to see it doesn’t seem to get any attention anymore.

Aside from the bugs mentioned in other posts above, I’m missing the following:

  • Event: When left mouse button is released (there’s a “Left mouse button clicked down” event, so why not a released one?)

  • Being able to detect what element was clicked down on.

  • Promotion from highly experimental to core feature!

Jumping in here,

I tried to use the feature “when user scrolls on page”, but unfortunately its not working on mobile?

I wanted to achieve a similar effect like in the latest update of the facebook app, that the navbar hides when user scrolls down and shows up when scrolling up.

Any ideas? :slight_smile:

Im looking to use Enter as well @nick.carroll

Hi,

You don’t need this plugin to have something like that to work. There’s a “scroll position” operator already.

So just add a conditional in your navbar that will hide it when page scroll position is more than a certain amount.

thanks for your help.

This solution is great if you want to have the effect at certain points. But what I want to achieve is that navbar hides when scrolling down and shows up again when scrolling up, no matter where you are on the page.

I just tried this plugin. I want to move a draggable group to the cursor when its clicked. The moving part works fine, but it offsets the group very far on the x value (arround 450px+) and small on the y value (arround 20px - ). The draggable group is as big as the text element inside of it and there are no other elements on the page. Can somebody tell me why it offsets the draggable group so far from my cursor? (In my Screenshot the blue X is where i clicked)


Thanks in advance for your help!

For your X value try subtracting half of your page width.

So it should look something like this:

Get mouse data X position - (page width/2)

You’ll need to enable the parentheses experimental feature in your app to get the brackets.

This didnt work for me unfortunately. Its also weird, that in mobile everything works fine with the normal coordinates without substracting or adding anything to the x and y values
