[Enhancement Request] Support for chording
asampal opened this issue · 2 comments
It would be great if TouchCursor would support multiple keys after the trigger key (e.g. Space + A + S + D + F). Of course not all keyboards support chording or they might, but with only certain keys being supported. This would increase the number of easily formed key combinations actionable with minimal or no movement of the fingers off the home row.
I was looking at what it would take to build TouchCursor in order to maybe try and resolve this feature request. I noticed that Boost and Wx dependencies are quite old, and maybe not so easily buildable with new tools. @martin-stone, are you thinking of updating these in the near term? I did manage to build Wx, but haven't tried the old Boost.
I had no immediate plans to update the libraries -- I haven't built a new version for a long time, so there hasn't really been a need.
Newer Boost may "just work". It could just be a case of editing the touchcursor.vsprops file with the appropriate library locations and rebuilding.
If you have time to try building with the new Boost I'd be interested to hear how you get on! I'm happy to incorporate any updates required to make the project build with newer tools and libraries, but am a bit short of time to look into it right now.
