Special commands launch panels instead of shortcuts

[DreamMaoMao]

In some wm usage habits, most people use application launchers like wofi, rofi, etc. If their hands are on the keyboard, they prefer to use these keyboard-based application launchers.

I think kando should be more of a supplement, that is, when the hand is on the mouse.

So I think there should be a way to invoke the kando panel without using the keyboard, purely using the mouse, instead of moving the hand back to the keyboard to launch the kando panel.

Of course, we can also use a special command to launch the panel, and let the user decide how to call the command to launch the panel, such as clicking on a module of waybar to execute the command to launch the kando panel.

Hi there! Thanks for the suggestion. At some point, there will be some kind of interface to open menus via the command line. Then, users can user whatever they want to open the menu!

However, on Hyprland it should be already possible to bind the menu to a mouse button.

Yes, my suggestion is to add a command that you can bind to hyrpland, like this:

bind=SUPER,code:28,exec,kando panel

This will open kando's panel directly instead of just enabling kando as a daemon in the background

Executing the kando command now simply starts a daemon process and does not open the panel directly

Have you read the notes in the PR mentioned in the command line output of Kando?

All you need to do is:

bind = CTRL, Space, global, kando:prototype_trigger

And Kando has to be running in the background, of course.
