Change case in output

[rhb327]

Trying to use for a simple abbreviation. I'm unable able to get multiple cases in the output using Shift{X} or CapsLock X CapsLock Y. The below will not work as expected and often end up as:

thanks,
rich

instead of

Thanks,
-Rich

# Signatures
Shift{T} H      >> Shift{T} H A N K S Comma Enter Minus Shift{R} I C H
#Shift{T} H      >> CapsLock T CapsLock H A N K S Comma Enter Minus CapsLock R CapsLock I C H

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
-Rich

Hi Rich,
Sorry, I could not reproduce this, neither on Linux nor Windows.
Have you tested it with this mapping alone or only with others?

Now I am thinking about supporting strings as output sequences, like:
Shift{T} H >> "Thanks,\n-Rich"

Cheers!

Most things are working. I have a pretty easy setup as follows: [system="Linux"] Shift >> Shift Control >> Control AltLeft >> AltLeft # Date shortcuts D T T >> $(date +%m/%d/%Y -d "+1 days") ^ D T Y >> $(date +%m/%d/%Y -d "-1 days") ^ D T W >> $(date +%m/%d/%Y -d "+7 days") ^ D T >> $(date +%m/%d/%Y) ^ # Signatures Shift{T} H >> Shift{T} H A N K S Comma Enter Minus Shift{R} I C H #Shift{T} H >> CapsLock T CapsLock H A N K S Comma Enter Minus CapsLock R CapsLock I C H But for signatures the above with output two different variants depending on what the caps lock state is: thanks, -rich or THANKS, -RICH I'm unable (so far) to achieve: Thanks, -Rich

Interesting, aren't these mappings interfering with your normal typing?
Can you see or insert the output of $(date +%m/%d/%Y -d "+1 days") somehow?

[rhb327]

Yes, all the date ones seem to work just fine! I've used these for a long time and generally the combinations are safe for me! The "Th" can be an issue on occasion. I used to use these in AutoKey but recently started to use Wayland. Rich

I am curious, where can you see the output of the date command? In some terminal window?
Never implemented that feature. :)

[rhb327]

See attached. Left shows "Th" and "tH" in gedit but right shows where the dates go (to the terminal) that spawned keymmaper even when I type "dt" in gedit. It sounds like I'm in a unintended use category here so maybe not worth pursuing!

@rhb327 In case you're still in need for something like the date shortcuts, I think Espanso would be the right tool for the job. I use both Keymapper and Espanso. I haven't yet been able to imagine too many uses for Espanso, but I use it specifically for adding timestamps on backup file names. I'm also using it to write Jira issues using Markdown syntax instead of it's native syntax I always forget. 🙂

[houmain]

With keymapperctl --type in 4.4.0 one could insert dates like:

D T T >> $(keymapperctl --type "$(date +%m/%d/%Y -d '+1 days')") ^

and concerning the mixed up case, you may want to retry it with the string typing feature:

Shift{T} H >> "Thanks, Rich"

@houmain The release notes looked awesome. I've yet to test it but will soon. 🙂

Works great!
