negate activeApplication(”Name”) and key trigger

Hello,

1) yes, it should be possible using the Global condition and 'not activeApplication("firefox")' should work.

2) You mean if either CTRL or ALT is pressed? Then: at the moment, no. But a simple patch could fix that.
Or do you mean 'only recognize if CTRL is pressed'? Then: yes ;)

Does that solve your question?

Regards,

Fred

Thanks for your prompt answer,

1) I thing I have some problems with this. Here is gestikk.conf:

[Notification]
color = #ffff00000000
font = Sans
font_size = 20
type = 0

[Internal]
version = 0.6

[Preferences]
global condition = activeApplication_endswith('Vimperator')
tolerance = 20
switcher = altdown

[OSD]
color = #ffff00000000
enabled = 1
line_width = 3

I'm running FreeBSD 7.0 / amd64, Python 2.5.2, PyGTK 2.12.1, pynotify 0.1.1, Kiwi 1.9.22, python-virtkey 0.50 and pyparsing 1.5.1.

Gestikk stops woking after first gesture:

    raise maxException
pyparsing.ParseException: Expected "not" (at char 0), (line:1, col:1)

Am I doing something wrong?

2) yes, that works. Sorry, I overlooked the option.

Hello,

you have to use double quotes (") in your condition instead of single quotes, maybe that's the reason.

Without any global condition everything works.

Hello,

which window manager do you use?

Hi,

I'm using awesome-2.3.4 (awesome.naquadah.org).

I avoided the need for global condition by setting ctrl as the activation key, but if you like to find out what is wrong, I will for sure provide you with any information you need. Perhaps, I can create you a temporary VNC account on my machine, but only between 9:00 and 16:00 (GMT +1).

Ok, I will try it tomorrow. In any case thanks for help.

Thanks Friedrich Weber, that solved my question.
