🐛 Loop does not work by default with MacOS using the touchpad
Closed this issue · 10 comments
Bug Description
When pressing the designated hotkey (globe) to trigger the radial menu, the radial menu is shown, but moving the touchpad to control the windows place does not do anything.
Does loop app only work with the mouse? or is it expected to work also with the touchpad?
Steps To Reproduce
Place yourself in a normal finder window, click the hotkey, move the touchpad to organize windows.
Expected Behavior
I expected after pressing the hotkey, to be able to use the macbook touchpad to control the windows organizations.
Actual Behavior
When clicking the hotkey, the radial menu shows and it stays there while mainting the hotkey clicked, but moving the cursor with the touchpad does not do anything.

MacOS Version

Additional Context

Final Checks
- My issue title is descriptive
- This is a single bug (multiple bugs should be reported individually)
That's really weird, I exclusively use Loop with a trackpad on my side!
Would you be able to send a video?
Loop currently calculates the window action based on the cursor location, so it doesn't make sense to me that the peripheral used to move it would change the outcome.
Here is the video (I uploaded it on google drive): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1la-fHHcgGr-J1pQevi__p2QQBbjy5FD5/view?usp=sharing
It looks like maybe it does not have access to reading the cursor location or something.
Here it looks like it has access to the computer:
Here also it has access to screen recording:
For your information, moving the windows are working fine using the keyboard shortcuts (for example: hotkey + left arrow will move properly the window with the smooth animation and all)
Hmm.. do you have a multi-monitor setup? It's possible that Loop could be miscalculating the cursor position.
no, I have only the Macbook Monitor, I did the manual installation for your information, do you think it might work better with homebrew installation method?
They both essentially do the same thing, but it's worth a try! Maybe it might fix something that's currently broken/missing?
Another option could be to boot into safe mode, and see if Loop works from there :)
I tried both of them but still same issue (very weird).
Hmm alright.
Would you be able to try this build? Maybe the latest changes will fix it?
Any updates on this?
Same issue, no problem, I am already very happy with it with shortcuts (It is wonderful) you can close the issue.
Oh alright… but if anyone else has this bug, please comment below! Otherwise, I will close this issue.
