if you mean the default button actions in apps, its because you have to a have a sixth sense to know what the hell your buttons are going to do at any given time. i like consistency in my ux.

n9bm runs 100% of the time, so it must be extremely low power. i dont want to risk accidentally killing someones battery to add features like this. i do not want to add features that cause radios to run more often, including bt, wifi, or gps.

however, i should probably make a shell-command-condition that lets folks do whatever they want. {for example, all you would do is write a script called gps-is-home that exits with 0 if you are home and 1 otherwise.}

in my opinion, the best gui for this app would be a nice text editor that opens the config file. the config is straighforward, and reloading is automatic. in fact, the gui literally just modifies the config file and exits.

i maintain the gui only because a LOT of folks are really averse to opening up a text editor. i certainly will never use it, and wouldnt ask anyone else to.

the only extra feature i would like a gui to have is to check the syntax and make sure there are no typos. perhaps ill take redak or something and repackage it with this feature some day.

all that being said, i would love for someone to write a nice qml gui for this so everyone would stop worrying about it already. {i do not think i will ever do this.}
