Can quadgrid be improved?

[y9san9]

I don't know if there's a better way to transfer issue to discussion, but here we go

[y9san9]

I think I will try quadgrid from now on. But it would be so cool to have an option to divide screen into equal spaces and use more than 4 keys. It's not going to be "quad" anymore, but it will be as predictable, I think. And the default might be still 4 keys, but if anyone could override that, that would be so cool.

This is something I've been thinking about recently too. Instead of just 4 squares, maybe it's a configurable of any equal amount of squares that still make it quad (2x2, 3x3, 4x4) and so on.

[y9san9]

9 subdivisions would be optimal for me and it would be also consistent with that little 9-divided square at the end of the plain grid selection

[y3owk1n]

This should not be something extremely hard tho and definitely doable.

[y9san9]

I am going to stay tuned than! Can't wait to try 3x3 square, should be very convenient

Another thing that I think I miss is having the ability of huge mouse jumps and small steps.

Huge mouse jumps: sometimes when I jump somewhere I also have some popups on hover (accidentally) and I just want to get rid of that, so something luge control + arrow would be very convenient.

Small mouse jumps: sometimes I work in google slides and I would want to slightly adjust movements, so I it would be good to have something like shift + arrow to move somewhere.

Also arrows in my case are remapped with karabiner to option + hjkl, so that thing also might be convenient builtin

[y9san9]

Yeah, I use this. But the default movement is 10 pixels, but in Google Slides I need my precision to be up to a single pixel sometimes. And there is no way to configure larger bursts

If you want, you can even bind it to a global hotkey in your config.

Binding global hotkey - https://github.com/y3owk1n/neru/blob/main/docs/CONFIGURATION.md#hotkeys

Action cli -https://github.com/y3owk1n/neru/blob/main/docs/CLI.md#action-commands

Example:

"Cmd+Alt+J" = "action move_mouse_relative --dx 0 --dy -5" # move 5px down relative the current cursor position

I am going to try that, thank you

[y3owk1n]

For now we only support one value tho, but you can update this to 1px

[action]
move_mouse_step = 1  # Pixels to move per key press (default: 10)

[action.key_bindings]
left_click = "Shift+L"       # Left click at cursor position
right_click = "Shift+R"      # Right click at cursor position
middle_click = "Shift+M"     # Middle click at cursor position
mouse_down = "Shift+I"       # Press and hold mouse button
mouse_up = "Shift+U"         # Release mouse button
move_mouse_up = "Up"         # Move cursor up by move_mouse_step
move_mouse_down = "Down"     # Move cursor down by move_mouse_step
move_mouse_left = "Left"     # Move cursor left by move_mouse_step
move_mouse_right = "Right"   # Move cursor right by move_mouse_step

But the downside is the action movement will now be always 1px.

[y9san9]

Yes, that's what I'm saying. It's only one value now and would be convenient to have 3 of them (homerow actually has 3 modes iirc)

Good idea, I'll need to think abit on how to interface them with extensibility in mind for these kind of setup.

Btw @y3owk1n I also use "Mouse Keys" to disable touchpad, this might be useful to you or someone who will stumble upon this thing. After turning on this option, you can click "Option" key 5 times to disable it, and then again to enable again. I use it to make using Neru easier than actually using touchpad. But in Figma and somewhere else I explicitly want to use touchpad and I can do that.
