I would like TS Menus to be able to be triggered after the abbreviation is typed.
For me it is easier to remember to type the trigger after I have typed the abbreviation.
Here's how I think it could work:
- QM keep a buffer of the last X (5-20?) characters typed
- Allow for backspace to erase characters in the buffer as TS Menu currently does
- If a non-ascii key is pressed, erase the buffer (e.g. arrow keys, enter, Alt, Ctrl, maybe spacebar)
- When the hotkey trigger is received, search backwards through the buffer to find the first string at the end of the buffer that matches one of the abbreviations in the TS Menu file, remove the abbreviation, and perform the associated action.
Would this be hard to implement?
If it could be supported, my preferred TS Menu hotkey trigger sequence would be: space space
