Most applications can be rotated in PR 1.2 using ctrl shift r. It works really well on some things like settings conversations ect and not so well on others as it isnt really optomised for some and icons can be off screen or unusable.
All working really well here I use long camera press to activate custom command

osso-xterm

Which launches the terminal saving time and looks cool.:)

Seems to be working, version 0.1.3 should be hitting extras-devel shortly. Thanks!

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
In the new version, rotation works good.
But the camera button still opens the camera app for me?
Help?

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
Finally a usable "home" button for the n900. Great work!

A few bugs though
- short press camera => desktop doesn't work when in "multi-task view" mode (when u see all the running open programs". Or when in Menu view, when u see available apps to run
- short press camera => desktop doesn't work when the programming is still initializing. Eg run the 'terminal' app, usually takes 2 seconds to process before u can start typing anything. It ignores the short press during those 2 seconds the pogram 'processing circle' is running

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
Yes, I noticed that it doesn't work with the dashboard opened. Since Hildon Desktop doesn't offer a D-Bus method for exiting the dashboard, I guess it'll have to be done by faking a button press in the top right if _MB_CURRENT_APP_WINDOW == 0xffffffff && _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW == getDesktopWindow()

Dunno if it'll work for the second case, though

It's immune to fake button presses. Will have to instantiate a HildonAppMenu...

Is it possible for you to make any button to launch virtual keyboard ?

I'm also experiencing this. Quite annoying, as the only time I notice it is when I need to open the phone :eek: Figure'd I'd ask if it had been fixed before doing some troubleshooting & writing a alarmd command or such to restart shortcutd periodically :)

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
I am experiencing this as well. Sometimes I need to restart shortcutd because it stops working.

If I have the proximity option on with Phone Speaker Switcher, the proximity portion of shortcutd fails even more frequently.

I leave that option off, but I still need to restart shortcutd every once in awhile.

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
Any fix for short press of camera to go to desktop opens camera as well?

This application could be great for me, but as it always opens the camera app as well, it is all but useless for my N900.

Is it a settings issue or something I can change? Bug? Known issue?

Any help would be appreciated. I would love to see this app work for me.

Couldn't find any rhyme or reason behind it. On reboot it works for a while. then even while the shortcutd process is still active (or rather, at least shown as running), it stops working. "killall shortcutd" starts it back up, so I put an alarmd event to run that every hour. A waste, but WFM (Works For Me). :)

Sigh!
Dont PUSH the Button. Try to press it more carefully. Like when you trying to take a photo. You need to focus first and then press it to take it. Or read the manual about this Button first.

mattyparanoid 2010-08-05 18:34
Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
While I am sorry I exasperated you, I am appreciative that I learned from your post that the button is very sensitive...

Understood now that Shortcutd means to lightly press the button to go to the desktop NOT to completely click the button to go to the desktop...

Not very active.

I've been busy with a more interesting project, and AFAIK hopbeat is also busy with other things.

But it's open source, anyone can develop it. Patches are still welcome :)

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
I don't feel like reading all 18 pages of posts right now, i hope this is the right place for this, and i apologize if this has been suggested before

I would like to have additional options, like double and tripple click, click-hold, click-click-hold, hold-click etc as additional shortcuts, and also, it would be nice to have an action to switch between the dashboard, the menu and the desktop (press while in a program or the desktop calls the dashboard, press while in the dashboard calls the menu, press while in the menu, goes to the desktop)

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
Could you add screenshot (ctrl+shift+p) support for either cam key or proximity sensor?

leviathan0297 2010-08-26 17:00
Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
would it be possible to map other buttons like the left button or enter button to the camera button using this app

gsever 2010-08-26 17:39
Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
Hey, just wondering if you could add a toggle option for soft camera button press to switch between desktop and dashboard. Do you have a quick tutorial for custom shell command shortcut?

ivgalvez 2010-09-06 12:22
Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
I have mapped the proximity sensor long touch as Dashboard, and very frequently it doesn't run.

Once restarted Shortcutd (by entering the setup menu and exiting) it begins to work again.

I also think that the behaviour of the proximity sensor is not consistent with the focus button. If I do a long press in the focus button for, let's say launch phone, I don't need to stop pressing to launch the application, it starts after 2 seconds approximately. But with the proximity sensor I have to quit my finger in exactly the time to get the expected result which, by the way, is quite difficult.

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
I have suffered the same problem and stopped using the long press.

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
can i use "CTRL+V" in shortcutd ?

zerocool2k 2010-09-18 03:58
Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
Is there any way to disable the camera software when the lens is closed? Otherwise, the long press function is pretty much annoying when it opens 2 apps at once.

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
great app, thanks!
to everyone interested, like me, to use short/long press camkey to switch to silent profile can do that:
- open terminal
- create a script:
eg: switch_to_silent_profile_script
Code:
#!/bin/sh
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.profiled /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.set_profile string:"silent"
(for other controls see here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control)
in shortcutd set your preferences and in 'custom shell command' write:
sh /path_where_is_your_script/your_script (eg: /home/user/switch_to_silent_profile_script)
that's all ;)

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
there's that new force rotation patch inside the new mcsp (cssu).
so I want to make screenshots of diferent apps in portrait mode.

Problem is, I can't press ctrl+shift+p with slide in keyboard (portrait mode)

Could someone tell me how to make ctrl+shift+p in shortcut?
How should a custom shell command7script look to take screenshots when long pressing the cam key?

thx for your help.

script to reject incoming call
 
Did anyone try to make shortcutd work so that if camkey is pressed while there is an incoming call, the call is rejected?

Often if one receives an incoming call during a meeting, one would like to just reach in one's pocket and reject the call. At the moment this can't be done with the N900, can it? But it seems like shortcutd could readily be modified to accomplish this, yes?

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
Hi, I would like to know what to put in "custom shell command" to launch an app ...

helex 2011-04-10 14:39
Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
I've seen here at the beginning a discussion that the developers was not able to check what application is currently running in the foreground, if the task-switcher is currently opened and how to bring a other application in the foreground.

In my other thread (LINK) I asked for similar stuff. And accidentally we found a way how to check if the task switcher dashboard or the desktop is currently running. (the script to check what application is currently running simply crashes) This happens at one of the Desktops and at the Task Manager.

So this way it would be possible to notice what application is running at the moment the camera button is pressed. Store this in a small history of 2 Items. If the active_window.property_get crashed the task switcher or the desktop is shown. In this case the shortcutd application could switch to the second task in the history list and flip the items. If we got the name of the current task simply push it to the top of the 2 Items stack.

This way we could easily switch between 2 Tasks (at example notes and calendar) back and forth simply by pressing the camera button twice. This would be great.

Perhaps thp or hopbeat has some minutes to look into it. This would be a very cool feature. :)

Hi,

Here is a patch I created to add on option to this great application: you can now send the space key as you would for the backspace key.

How is this useful ?
The space key can scroll down one page at a time in the browser. So if you attach this new option to the short press action of the camera button, then you can very easily read pages in your browser.

See attached video as a demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPTZg7QSdPw

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
I just uploaded a small script, to maemo extras-devel that helps greek users write longer sms, by replacing greek characters with the corresponding english ones (thread here http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75654). For it to "just work" I need to edit shortcutd to run it when the camera is half pressed. I can make a post-install script to change shortcutd configuration but as this is intrusive I wondered if you could add an option for my script in the default shortcutd options.

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
It was working perfect for months (or even for year).
But today just stopped.
Yesterday I've upgraded some packages, but I don't remember shortcutd among them.
What can you suggest me to do? Is there any debug output?

int_ua 2011-08-17 08:12
Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
And now it's working again.

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
I have a couple of issues, the first is that the camera button full press is set to launch the phone at the moment, however when i do this it opens the camera app instead even though the shutter is closed?

Secondly, I want the full press to launch the calendar so I looked at the calendar desktop entry to see what it executes. I then tried the command in terminal to make sure but when i do I recieve an error and the gui never shows and i then have to ctrl+c out. Does anyone know the right command? Or if i've got it right, does anyone know why the gui doesnt show? Its the same result being root too.

Here is the terminal output:

Don't know why the command doesn't work.
But this should work:

dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=com.nokia.calendar /com/nokia/calendar com.nokia.calendar.top_application

Cheers nicolai, that works perfectly.

Now I dont need to know why the other one didn't work! lol

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
You can set full press? It only got short and long soft press on mine, and there isn't any update avaiable...

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
I just installed it to lock display with long pressure of proximity sensor, but I can't use any function of proximity sensor!
I checked it with healtcheck, and I'm sure sensor works, but seems shortcutd can't recognize it.
I have last version of proximityd package.

Here is a strace of shortcutd (killed and then restarted with strace)
http://pastebin.com/uu5kZzgU

There are some "Resource temporarily unavailable", may be this a problem?

I have used it for a long time to do this, occasionally it stops working.
I reboot normally fixes it. I don't know why but killing it doesn't fix the problem.

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 
It never worked, for me!
Can there be any conflict?
