mxfb-2025 development ideas

As I posted earlier, you are quoting from the "Menu" subfolder. But that menu is generated (and re-generated) by a pretty complicated script from PPC that is not going to get changed this week--at least not by me.

That's OK then. I can always setup my dual submenu.

on the control+q for quickshot is that going to break using control q to quit applications?

Code: Select all

Ctrl Print :Exec mxfb-quickshot_delay
Ctrl q :Exec mxfb-quickshot_delay 

am I missing someting or is this the same action defined to 2 key combos?

answer: control q breaks the shortcut for exiting an application in applications. I don't think that should be a key combo that is pre-defined.

Thanks. I've never used Ctrl+q myself so didn't see the conflict. We can switch to Ctrl+Alt+q (it's only there for keyboards without a dedicated Print key). Do you want to make the change or shall I redo it from below?

I'll make it. I'm in the git now anyway

source $HOME/.config/MX-Linux/mxfb-quickshot.conf
: ${DELAY:=sleep 12s}

/usr/bin/notify-send -i /usr/share/icons/Papirus/24x24/devices/camera.svg -t 6000 "$WAIT" && ${DELAY}

mxfb-quickshot -r -png

Got the updates this morning for quickshot delay but there's no config file (to set a time) or key binding.
How do we go about setting that up?
