Question about launcher_mode_v4 approach

[acicovic]

Hello there,

I see that the launcher_mode_v4 script builds the launcher by using two JSON blocks and a launcher_mode_v4 variable.

However, through my experimentation I've found that this shorter code works for me:

{
    "from": {
        "modifiers": {"mandatory": []},
        "simultaneous": [{"key_code": "o"},{"key_code": "m"}],
        "simultaneous_options": { "key_down_order": "strict", "key_up_order": "strict_inverse"}
    },
    "parameters": {"basic.simultaneous_threshold_milliseconds": 500},
    "to": [{"shell_command": "open -a 'my.app'"}],
    "type": "basic"
},

Does anybody know why the launcher_mode_v4 script uses that more complicated approach? What am I missing?

Thank you! 😃
