[fr] Make the selected text obj dynamic

[proItheus]

Actual Behaviour

I select someword, press Control + G, the selected text obj is selected, with value someword.

But when I select anotherword, press Control + Space to show kupfer, kupfer shows up, with selected text obj selected, but still with value someword.

And if I save selected text -> some action as a compound command, at the next time I execute it, some action will still receive someword, not current selected text.

Expected Behaviour

when I select anotherword, press Control + Space to show kupfer, kupfer shows up, with selected text obj selected

It's value should be anotherword.

And if I save selected text -> some action as a compound command, at the next time I execute it, some action will still receive someword

some action should receive current selected text

Background

I have an executable called goldendict , it's a dictionary program, and I can use goldendict <word> to look up in it.

To query selected text in that program, I use selected text -> pass to command -> goldendict.

And because my using wayland, I can't assign a shortcut to open kupfer with selected text.

Alternatively, I think we can allow saving partially applied actions, that is, for actions needing indirect obj, save action -> iobj1 as a newaction (maybe sth. similar to current compound command), and we can execute obj->newaction as a shorthand of obj->action->iobj1

Hi,
Not sure if it resolve problem, but in current version you should be able to call any binding defined in Kupfer by something like:
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=se.kaizer.kupfer /interface se.kaizer.kupfer.Listener.RelayKeysFromDisplay string:"<Primary><Super>space" string:"" string:""

Next release bring some updates that can help:

1. Fix for updating current leaf: KarolBedkowski@83c01cb

2. New dbus methods that can be used to show Kupfer with (i.e.) current selected text. KarolBedkowski@764243a

3. There is also updated "dict" plugin that support Goldendict

In "next" version I can also create kfcom file (select "selected text" -> pass to command -> command -> ctrl+enter -> save as.. ). Executing this file is like executing sequence command. Not sure, it is work correctly in "current" version, though.
