Functinality to open application; wait n seconds; submit key events

[alexey-danilov]

I want to replicate the setting, which I had in json karabiner config: open browser, wait 2 seconds, open new tab -> for quicker access to search.

So far I've come up with a configuration to open the browser:

{:des "hypr + e -> firefox" :rules [[:!!e "open '/Applications/Firefox.app'"]]}

It is possible to achieve the rest in goku?

How do you implement the wait 2s in karabiner?

{:main [{:des "hypr + e -> firefox"
         :rules [[:!!e ["open '/Applications/Firefox.app'"]
                  nil
                  {:delayed {:invoked [:!Ct]}
                   :params {:delay 2000}}
                ]]
       }]
}

I am not familiar with EDN. So if I formatted this wrongly, please do tell! That would be helpful!

There's nothing wrong in this config. Although it's not work on my mac, it opens firefox and insert a t in the location bar. Does it have the same behavior on your side?

I am getting this now! IIRC, I didn't encounter this issue earlier because I didn't use hyper key.

After fiddling with this, I found that

1. For some reason, using the same key in from and to_delayed_action is not working.
2. Key up event is not send for delayed action.

This is what I came up with

{
  "to_delayed_action": {
    "to_if_invoked": [
      {
        "key_code": "t",
        "modifiers": [
          "right_command"
        ]
      },
      {
        "key_code": "right_command"
      }
    ]
  },
  "parameters": {
    "basic.to_delayed_action_delay_milliseconds": 2000
  },
  "from": {
    "key_code": "e",
    "modifiers": {
      "mandatory": [
        "left_command",
        "left_control",
        "left_option",
        "left_shift"
      ]
    }
  },
  "to": [
    {
      "shell_command": "open '/Applications/Firefox.app'"
    }
  ],
  "type": "basic"
}

How can I write this in EDN? I modified delayed to {:delayed {:invoked [:!Qt [:Q]]}. But, I got null for second event instead of right_command. This maybe a bug in Goku because I got an error when I tried to use modifier key as normal key in to event.

P.S. to_delayed_action and parameters should be after to event in generated JSON. Currently, Goku puts it before from event.

@MuhammedZakir :invoked [:!Qt [:Q]] need to be changed to :invoked [:!Qt :right_command]

Thanks! It's working now! So you can only use abbreviations such as Q or C, in from events?

it can be used in :main section
